The Maldives is redefining its regional strategy, moving from strong ties with India to engaging more closely with Pakistan, per Atalayar reports.
This shift comes after a significant China-Maldives Investment Cooperation Forum held in Malé, signaling new economic partnerships, the embassy website notes.
Meanwhile, climate change poses a growing threat, with heat stress potentially costing the Maldives and Sri Lanka the equivalent of 147,000 full-time jobs by 2040, according to the ILO.
