The Maldives is strengthening ties with Pakistan and China, as outlined in a recent investment forum held in Malé, per the Chinese Embassy in the Maldives.

Relations with India are cooling, with Malé's diplomatic outreach signaling a strategic realignment in the Indian Ocean, according to The Federal.

Meanwhile, the country's tourism sector is evolving, with HolidayVibe Maldives launching new tools for luxury resort comparisons and bespoke holiday packages, as reported by StreetInsider.
