India has always been involved in promoting state sponsored terrorism. Almost all South Asian countries are facing Indian sponsored terrorism through well organized and trained groups. For a long time, Maldives remained under India’s sphere of influence. But, the newly elected President of Maldives has asked India to get its troops out of the country.  The presence of these troops could put the Maldives at risk, especially during the time of rising tension between India and China. Pakistan and China have been enjoying strong relations. China is supporting Pakistan in uplifting its economy through the China Pakistan Economic Corridor project. The main theme of Chinese initiative is connectivity. Gwadar port has been fully functional and will attract the foreign trade.
