President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has said there is nothing to worry about in the agreements made by the previous government with other countries.
At a press conference at the President's Office, Muizzu said he was working in line with his pledge to disclose the military agreements and blamed delays on confidentiality issues.
"Bilateral discussions are ongoing. There are no issues. However, we are trying to disclose through the bilateral disccusions since I made a pledge. There are no concerns," he said.
However, before coming to power, the People's National Congress (PNC) expressed concerns over the agreements signed with other countries, especially India, by the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) government.
Muizzu and senior PNC officials have previously said that these agreements will affect the Maldives' sovereignty.
After the PNC came to power, the parliament began studying the hydrography agreement, the Uthuru Thila Falgu agreement and military aircraft agreement.
The hydrography agreement was cancelled, while work on the remaining agreements have stalled.
Additionally, the Muizzu administration has not disclosed the military agreements it signed with China, India and Turkiye.
