India is expected to maintain a measured approach amid concerns over Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu s strengthened position following his party s massive parliamentary victory. The People s National Congress (PNC) secured a two-thirds majority in the recent elections, potentially allowing Muizzu to push policies through parliament. New Delhi, observing Male s growing ties with Beijing since Muizzu took office, will likely proceed cautiously. The Maldives holds strategic importance for India in the Indian Ocean Region, with New Delhi being a key supplier of essential goods and services to Male.
