The Maldives,officially the Republic of Maldives,is an archipelagic state and country in South Asia,situated in the Indian Ocean. It lies southwest of Sri Lanka and India,about 750 kilometres from the Asian continent's mainland. The Maldives' chain of 26 atolls stretches across the equator from Ihavandhippolhu Atoll in the north to Addu Atoll in the south.
The history of the Maldives is intertwined with the history of the broader Indian subcontinent and the surrounding regions,comprising the areas of South Asia and Indian Ocean;and the modern nation consisting of 26 natural atolls,comprising 1194 islands. Historically,the Maldives had a strategic importance because of its location on the major marine routes of the Indian Ocean. The Maldives' nearest neighbours are the British Indian Ocean Territory,Sri Lanka and India. The United Kingdom,Sri Lanka and some Indian kingdoms have had cultural and economic ties with the Maldives for centuries. In addition to these countries,Maldivians also traded with Aceh and many other kingdoms in,what is today,Indonesia and Malaysia. The Maldives provided the main source of cowrie shells,then used as a currency throughout Asia and parts of the East African coast. Most probably Maldives were influenced by Kalingas of ancient India who were earliest sea traders to Sri Lanka and the Maldives from India and were responsible for the spread of Buddhism. Stashes of Chinese crockery found buried in various locations in the Maldives also show that there was direct or indirect trade contact between China and the Maldives. In 1411 and 1430,the Chinese admiral Zheng He 鄭和visited the Maldives. The Chinese also became the first country to establish a diplomatic office in the Maldives,when the Chinese nationalist government based in Taipei opened an embassy in Maléin 1966. This office has since been replaced by the embassy of the People's Republic of China.
The politics of the Maldives,as per the reports,take place in the framework of a presidential representative democratic republic,whereby the President is the Head of Government. Executive power is exercised by the government. The President heads the executive branch and appoints the Cabinet;like many presidential democracies,each member of the cabinet need to be approved by the Parliament. The President,along with their pick for vice president,is directly elected by the denizens to a five-year term by a secret ballot. Once in office,they could be re-elected to a second 5-year term,which is the limit allowed by the Constitution. The current President of the Maldives is Mohamed Muizzu,when his predecessor,Ibrahim Mohamed Solih lost the 2023 Maldivian presidential election. Nasheed reportedly resigned involuntarily to forestall an escalation of violence,and was placed in jail,before being forced into exile,from which he eventually returned.
