India, Maldives: Modi Visit Signals Renewed Diplomatic Ties

India and the Maldives, two island nations, have had a bit of a rocky relationship recently, but it looks like they're trying to be friends again.

The Indian Prime Minister is visiting the Maldives to talk about important things like helping each other out and keeping the area safe.

Before, some leaders in the Maldives seemed to prefer China, which made India a bit worried.

But now, they're working together more closely.

Former leaders from the Maldives are saying nice things about India, and highlighting how India always helps them out when they need it, and both countries share a long history together.
