Maldives is redefining its regional strategy, shifting focus from India to Pakistan and China, per Atalayar.

The nation's foreign policy pivot includes a recent China-Maldives Investment Cooperation Forum held in Malé, as reported by the Chinese embassy.

This strategic realignment raises questions about India's influence in the Indian Ocean region, The Federal notes, with analysts suggesting New Delhi cannot ignore the evolving dynamics.
