Several foreign leaders, including Bangladesh Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina, Prime Minister of Mauritius Pravind Jugnauth, Nepal PM PK Dahal and Srilankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe have also been invited for the swearing-in ceremony.

Muizzu said that he met the Indian ambassador a few days after his victory and "told him very clearly that every single Indian military personnel here should be removed".
