India and Maldives have a very strong relationship: High Commissioner of India to Maldives
G. Balasubramanian, High Commissioner of India to Maldives, said that India and Maldives are historical neighbours and their relations have continued to this day. He said that India and the Maldives have had a strong relationship.
“India and Maldives have a very strong relationship. We have been historical neighbours. We have been geographical neighbours, and therefore our relationship continued over centuries, I would say. During the Indus Valley civilisation, people from Lothal used to travel to Lhaviyani Atoll and Noonu Atoll in the northern part of the Maldives,” he said.
Mr. Balasubramanian said that India has contributed to the Maldives’ development.
