JP Nadda Meets Maldives President, Both Agree To Enhance Party-To-Party Relations

The Bharatiya Janata Party and the People's National Congress of Maldives on Monday agreed to enhance party-to-party relations to “deepen” partnership and mutual understanding.

This came after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief and Union minister J P Nadda met Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu in Delhi.

“During the meeting, both leaders agreed to enhance party-to-party relations by promoting exchanges between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the People's National Congress, aiming to deepen partnership and mutual understanding,” BJP incharge for foreign affairs department Vijay Chauthaiwale said.

During the meeting, which was part of the ‘Know BJP' initiative, Nadda also “outlined the organisational structure and activities of the Bharatiya Janata Party,” he said.

At the meeting, Chauthaiwale said the two leaders acknowledged the “substantial progress” made in India-Maldives bilateral relations over the last decade.

“They welcomed the introduction of Rupay Card transactions in Maldives and the release of the Comprehensive Economic and Maritime Security Vision Document. Both the leaders also discussed various ways to enhance cooperation in the health sector,” he added.

Maldivian President Muizzu is on a four-day visit to India. He arrived here on Sunday.
