Calling India as the “most long-standing ally,” the two main opposition parties in Maldives on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, expressed concern about the government’s “anti-India stance.”
The open support by the two parties ¬ the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and the Democrats ¬ came a day after the Maldives government said a Chinese ship, equipped to carry research and surveys, will be docking at a Maldivian port after being permitted by the Male government to make a port call for replenishment.
