Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu has set a March 15 deadline for India to remove its military personnel from the island nation. This decision comes after Muizzu's recent visit to China, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. "Indian military personnel cannot stay in the Maldives. This is the policy of President Muizzu and that of this administration," Abdulla Nazim Ibrahim, the public policy secretary at the President's Office, said.
