Recently, India began withdrawing its troops from the Maldives.
The President of the Maldives requested India to complete the troop withdrawal by May 10th.
Previously, Indian soldiers helped with medical rescue and maritime patrols in the Maldives.
Now, the Maldives has decided to handle these tasks on its own and no longer needs India's assistance.
At the same time, the Maldives signed a new cooperation agreement with China, which will provide some military equipment and training for free.
In the past, the Maldives had a good relationship with India, but now its relationship with China has become closer.
The President of the Maldives said that the Indian Ocean does not belong to any one country.
Both India and China want to have more influence in the Indian Ocean.
The Maldives is an important island nation and cooperates with many countries.
Now, the Maldives' relationship with China is getting closer, and India's influence there has decreased.
