Agreements for assistance in several fields were exchanged and a composite training centre and coastal radar system gifted by India to the Maldives military were launched on Saturday during Prime Minister Narenda Modi’s maiden state visit.
Modi and President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih jointly inaugurated the training centre and radar system on Maafilaafushi island via a remote link during a ceremony at the president’s office.
Solih also presented Modi with the ‘Order of the Distinguished Rule of Izzudeen,’ the highest honour of the Maldivian state accorded to foreign dignitaries. It was conferred “in recognition of the many services he has performed to cement the longstanding, amicable ties between our two countries,” the president’s office said.
