India Offers Expertise to Maldives in Governance and Public Policy
Imagine two friends who want to help each other build cool things.
India, a big friend, told its smaller friend, the Maldives, that it's happy to share its building plans and know-how.
This includes how to make good rules for everyone, manage the ocean's treasures, and create new businesses.
India has learned a lot over the years and wants to help the Maldives officials learn too.
They even suggested looking at how India builds roads and helps women with things like free cooking gas.
It's all about helping each other grow and succeed, just like good friends do.
