China warns against outside intervention in Maldives, again
NEW DELHI: With former Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed continuing to seek military action by India, China on Monday warned yet again warned against intervention by any outside power saying that the current situation was the internal affairs of Maldives and should be properly resolved through “dialogue and negotiation by various parties in the country”.
“We believe the Maldivian government and people have the wisdom and ability to properly handle the problems they face and restore order in the country according to law,” said China in a statement. The statement, which significantly was issued by the Chinese embassy in New Delhi, was in response to Nasheed’s remarks accusing China of land grab in the Maldives.
In an exclusive interview to TOI last week, Nasheed had said that he would call for an international convention to deal with Chinese land grab. He also said China had acquired 17 islands in the archipelago.
The embassy accused Nasheed of having made those remarks for political purposes. Calling its cooperation with the Maldives practical, the embassy hit out at Nasheed for his “false” and “groundless” remarks accusing China of land grab in the archipelago.
According to Nasheed’s party Maldivian Democratic Party, most of Chinese investments and projects are marked by a lack of transparency and commercial loans which come at concessional rate but which is offset by the inflated cost of projects.
