A Chinese ship, equipped to carry research and surveys, will be docking at a Maldivian port after being permitted by the Male Government to make a port call for replenishment.

While the Maldivian foreign ministry said the Chinese Research Vessel Xiang Yang Hong 3 will not be conducting any research while in the Maldivian waters, sources in the Indian Defence establishment said New Delhi is keeping a close watch on the movement of the ship.

The permission to allow Chinese ship comes amid strains in ties between India and Maldives after its new President Mohamed Muizzu came to power and made Beijing as his first port of call early this month after assuming office. Traditionally, New Delhi has been the first port of call for a Maldivian President.
