In a strong message of friendship, former President Mohammed Nasheed on Sunday asserted the India is the “single most important country” for Maldivian people.
“I think our neighbour India is probably the single most important country for Maldivian people...We come from the same stock, we listen to the same music, we read the same books and we eat the same food so it is difficult to say otherwise even if sentimentally we would like to come out with another,” Nasheed, the winner of the first round of Presidential Election, said.
