Maldives can progress without the help of some countries and the people will begin to feel that in the future, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has said.
Speaking at a gathering of the People's National Congress (PNC), Muizzu said his government was strengthening ties with many countries and guaranteed that the country can progress without the help of "some others."
"We are making great progress in establishing closer relations with countries. It has not been long, but we have made remarkable progress. We have made remarkable progress. The people will begin to feel that soon. Our team will prove that the country can move forward without the help of some others,” he said.
The President said he could not go into details at this time but that the truth would become clear in the future.
Muizzu was apparently speaking about the possibility of moving forward without Indian assistance. He also spoke about the removal of Indian troops from Maldivian territory.
"I am fully confident that the Indian troops in this country will be withdrawn as requested by the people and as I want. We will do whatever is necessary for the sake of the people," he said.
He called on the MDP to work in line with the people's decision for the removal of Indian troops.
