Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu will hold talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday during a five-day state visit, hoping for New Delhi's continuing support as his Indian Ocean nation recovers from an economic crisis.

A thaw ensued after Muizzu attended Modi’s June swearing-in ceremony in New Delhi for a third five-year term. Since then, Muizzu has toned down his anti-Indian rhetoric, and official-level contacts have intensified with New Delhi.

India and the Maldives have strengthened ties with a currency swap pact of USD 400 million and Rs 3000 crore, along with five other agreements. Key initiatives include the development of Hanimaadhoo International Airport and support for the Maldivian coast guard.
