| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In fact, the geo-political importance of the Indian Ocean Region and the strategic location of Maldives provide huge opportunities for China, and consequently, pose severe challenges for India. Since the Modi government came into power in 2014, China is flexing its muscles to encircle New Delhi with the help of India’s neighbours, because Beijing’s main intension is to control India’s increasing influence in the region. Moreover, Maldives has been a close friend of India, however, during the Abdulla Yameen’s government; China has hugely invested in the small island nation. |
