The new Maldivian government will work closely with India to ensure the security of the Indian Ocean sea-links, said Ahmed Naseem, former Maldivian Foreign Minister in a video call with Strategic News International. Naseem, who is currently in Colombo with other opposition leaders including former President Mohammad Nasheed, said the new government would reassess the cost and implications of Chinese projects in the island nation. He said he did not anticipate any attempt by defeated president Abdulla Yameen to subvert the election result.
