A group of 10 Maldivian police officers have begun specialized training focused on VIP protection, marking a milestone in the strategic partnership between the two nations. This initiative aims to enhance the Maldives Police Service’s capabilities in safeguarding high-profile dignitaries and responding effectively to evolving security challenges.
The programme underscores India’s commitment to supporting its maritime neighbour in building robust law enforcement capacities. It also reflects the deepening security ties and mutual trust shared by both countries, aligned with India’s broader “Neighbourhood First” policy.
The intensive training is expected to equip the Maldivian officers with advanced skills and best practices, fostering a culture of professionalism and cooperation that will benefit both nations in ensuring regional stability.
