Wickremesinghe says Muizzu is "More Friendly with India" Now. Find out why | Palki Sharma

#RanilOnFirstpost: In an exclusive interview to Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma, Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe was asked about his take on Maldives' anti-India campaign. "Muizzu has certainly become more friendly with India now", Wickremesinghe said. "I found that the chemistry between Indian PM Modi and Maldivian President Muizzu has really improved."

Sri Lanka is preparing for its first presidential election since the economic meltdown, with 39 candidates set to compete on 21 September. Among the key contenders is incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe, running as an independent candidate, alongside other notable names such as Sajith Premadasa and Namal Rajapaksa. India is closely monitoring the situation, as the outcome could influence regional stability and India's strategic interests, particularly concerning China's growing influence.
