This cooperation greatly benefits our citizens. We are eager to enhance this partnership in the years ahead,” Modi shared in a post on X.
He also met Abdul Raheem Abdulla, Speaker of the People’s Majlis (Maldivian Parliament), where the two leaders discussed the longstanding friendship between the two nations and the strong relationship between their respective Parliaments.
