Maldives Democratic Party questions Chinese-awarded agriculture project on Uthuru Thila Falhu Island, suspecting military objectives.
The Maldives Democratic Party (MDP) questions a major agriculture project on Uthuru Thila Falhu Island, awarded to a Chinese company. MDP Chairperson Fayyaz Ismail suspects military objectives behind the project, rather than genuine agricultural development. This suspicion is fueled by President Muizzu's decisions favoring Chinese interests and reducing Indian presence, plus the project's proximity to a Maldivian military harbor.
