At a meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in Male on Saturday, Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Government of India for consistently supporting the island nation.
The defence minister, who is on a three-day visit to the island, has met a galaxy of leaders in the Maldives and visited projects undertaken there with India's assistance.
The government said it welcomed the ICJ's decision to order provisional measures to secure the rights of victims in Myanmar and prevent the destruction of evidence in the ongoing case.
With Maldives coming out of the shadow of China following the defeat of former President Mohamed Nasheed in the recent election, Modi decided to pay his first visit to the country, reflecting the importance India attaches to its ties with the Indian Ocean archipelago.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the Maldives to attend the inauguration of its new President Mohamed Solih on 17 November, it is learnt.
Solih, the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party's candidate, emerged victorious over incumbent President Abdulla Yameen.
