In a recent tweet, Maldives President Muizzu has expressed hope to reach a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with India. The potential agreement could have significant economic implications for both countries.

The Maldives and India have long enjoyed strong diplomatic ties, with the two nations cooperating closely on various issues, including trade and commerce. A FTA would further strengthen their economic partnership by reducing or eliminating tariffs and other trade barriers.

This move is likely to benefit Indian businesses looking to expand their presence in the Maldives, as well as Maldivian companies seeking to increase their exports to India.

As talks move forward, it will be interesting to see how the two nations navigate the complexities of negotiating a comprehensive FTA. With both sides having a significant amount at stake, the outcome is likely to have far-reaching implications for their economic relationships.
