Maldives is no place for regional political shenanigans

Maldives is no place for regional political shenanigans

Not every place can be devoid of politics like Singapore or the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Maldives has political parties that have sharp differences, but that is not an invitation to superpowers, regional powers and showoff powers to come to Male for non-holiday purposes. People in the Maldives are mature and culturally sophisticated enough to sort out their own matters. External knee-jerk reactions can only complicate matters. Certainly, this is no place for a Chinese-Indian rivalry.
