00:00 In a recent turn of events, the Maldivian government faced a substantial disruption
00:11 as key websites, including those of the President, Foreign Ministry and Tourism Ministry, became
00:17 inaccessible for several hours on January 6.
00:22 The reasons behind this outage remain undisclosed, with no official statement from the government.
00:28 Fortunately, after a period of inaccessibility, these crucial government websites have now
00:34 been reinstated, with the Maldivian President's Office attributing the disruption to technical
00:40 issues.
00:42 In a public post, the President's Office acknowledged the unforeseen interruption,
00:47 assuring that the National Centre for Information Technology and relevant entities are actively
00:54 working to resolve the issue promptly.
00:56 Meanwhile, amidst these technical challenges, President Mohammad Muzo is scheduled to visit
01:03 China from January 8 to 12, as announced by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
01:08 This move is seen as a notable development, potentially impacting the Maldives' diplomatic
01:14 relations, especially with its significant neighbour, India.
01:18 Muzo's intention to shift the Maldives' foreign policy, including a pledge to reduce
01:24 Indian military presence, had stirred discussions.
01:28 With the Maldives owing China approximately $1.3 billion, this geopolitical shift holds
01:35 implications for the island nation's economic and diplomatic landscape.
