In a clear dig at China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the Maldivian Parliament on Saturday that India’s developmental partnership is intended to empower and not weaken and was not meant to increase dependence of others on it or bury future generations under burden of debt.
Without naming Pakistan, Modi also said that state sponsorship of terrorism was one of the biggest dangers to the world — a message that was expected to resonate with his audience given that Maldives has been grappling with the problem of radicalisation. He said India is committed to a “Neighbourhood First” approach and sees the region as an area of growth and security.
