对于马尔代夫而言，总统穆伊祖与巴基斯坦日益加深的接触正演变为一场外交走钢丝，反对派领导人、前总统纳希德等人警告称，他对伊斯兰堡的示好可能会损害这个岛国与其最近邻印度的关系。
For the Maldives, President Mohamed Muizzu's growing engagement with Pakistan is turning into a diplomatic tightrope, with opposition leaders, including former president Mohammed Nasheed, warning that his outreach to Islamabad could strain ties with the island nation's closest neighbour, India.
11年来马尔代夫总统首次访问巴基斯坦引发了关于马累外交政策的政治辩论，反对派领导人质疑穆伊祖——他是靠反印竞选上台的——是否正在拿国家安全和与新德里的长期伙伴关系冒险。
The first visit by a Maldivian president to Pakistan in 11 years has triggered a political debate over Male's foreign policy, with opposition leaders questioning whether Muizzu, who came to power on an anti-India campaign, is putting the country's security and long-standing partnership with New Delhi at risk.
最尖锐的警告来自反对党马尔代夫民主党（MDP）主席纳希德。据马尔代夫新闻媒体《太阳在线》报道，纳希德10月25日在阿杜市举行的新闻发布会上指责穆伊祖“鲁莽地”将马尔代夫卷入印度和巴基斯坦长期以来的紧张关系之中。
The sharpest warning came from Nasheed, chairperson of the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP). Speaking at a press conference in Addu City on October 25, Nasheed accused Muizzu of "recklessly" drawing the Maldives into the long-running tensions between India and Pakistan." While the risks faced by small nations, especially the Maldives, are significant, President Muizzu visited Pakistan without due consideration, once again bringing the Maldives into the middle of the disputes between India and Pakistan," Nasheed said, according to reports by the Maldivian news outlet Sun Online.
纳希德说：“虽然小国面临的风险很大，尤其是马尔代夫，但穆伊祖总统在未充分考虑的情况下访问巴基斯坦，再次将马尔代夫置于印巴争端的中心。”
From L to R: The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) leaders Abdulla Shahid, Mariya Ahmed Didi and Mohamed Nasheed has raised opposition against Maldives president Mohamed Muizzu's Pakistan visit. (Special Arrangement)The warning by the former president was particularly pointed.
前总统的警告尤为直指要害。他说：“如果印度觉得其安全受到损害，将会给马尔代夫带来非常惨痛的后果。”他辩称，如果新德里将马累与伊斯兰堡日益加深的接触视为安全担忧，该国可能要付出代价。
"If India feels their security is being compromised, it will have very bitter repercussions for the Maldives," he said, arguing that the country could pay a price if New Delhi viewed its growing engagement with Islamabad as a security concern.
马尔代夫其他反对派领导人也对穆伊祖的巴基斯坦之行提出质疑并进行了批评。
Muizzu's Pakistan visit was also questioned and criticised by other opposition leaders of the Maldives.
前马尔代夫外长阿卜杜拉·沙希德，正在为2028年总统选举前竞选反对党马尔代夫民主党（MDP）领导人，他指责穆伊祖将再次发起“反印度运动”，就像他在2023年所做的那样。前总统阿卜杜拉·亚明质疑巴基斯坦在访问期间授予穆伊祖荣誉博士学位的决定。这些言论反映了马累向伊斯兰堡伸出橄榄枝所带来的战略影响，在国内引发了日益增长的争论。
Former Maldivian foreign minister Abdulla Shahid, who is running for the leadership of the opposition MDP ahead of the Presidential elections in 2028, accused that Muizzu will start an "anti-India campaign again" like he had done in 2023. Former president Abdulla Yameen questioned Pakistan's decision to confer an honorary doctorate on Muizzu during the visit. These remarks reflected the growing domestic debate over the strategic implications of Male's outreach to Islamabad.
纳希德的言论捕捉到了围绕穆伊祖访巴基斯坦之行的核心紧张局势。马尔代夫有权与多个国家发展关系，但其长期以来的地理位置和对印度的安全依赖意味着，国防和海事合作可能带有超越双边外交的影响。马尔代夫总统穆罕默德·穆伊祖在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡国际伊斯兰大学（IIUI）获得政治与国际关系荣誉博士学位。
Nasheed's remarks capture the central tension surrounding Muizzu's trip to Pakistan. The Maldives has every right to cultivate ties with multiple countries, but its longstanding location and security dependence on India mean that defence and maritime cooperation can carry implications beyond bilateral diplomacy. Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu was conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Politics and International Relations by the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) in Pakistan. (X@MMuizzu)MUIZZU'S PAK VISIT: 20 MoUs AND DEFENCE PACTSMuizzu's three-day visit to Pakistan, from October 20 to 22, was the first by a Maldivian president in 11 years.
（X@MMuizzu）穆伊祖访巴：20份谅解备忘录和国防协议穆伊祖为期三天的巴基斯坦之行，从10月20日至22日，是11年来首位访问巴基斯坦的马尔代夫总统。此行恰逢两国建交60周年，并产生了20份谅解备忘录（MoUs），涵盖医疗保健、教育、贸易、农业、网络安全、国防和海上安全等领域。根据马尔代夫总统办公室的官方声明，这些协议旨在扩大双方共同感兴趣领域的合作。
It coincided with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries and produced 20 memorandums of understanding (MoUs) covering sectors ranging from healthcare and education to trade, agriculture, cybersecurity, defence and maritime security. According to the official statement by the Maldives President's Office, the agreements were intended to expand cooperation across areas of mutual interest.
两国政府还同意，在两年内将双边贸易额从约1300万美元增加到2亿美元。但此次访问的安全维度引起了最大关注。穆伊祖会见了巴基斯坦总理谢赫巴兹·谢里夫、总统阿西夫·阿里·扎尔达里，以及巴基斯坦陆军参谋长兼国防军总司令阿西姆·穆尼尔元帅。他们的讨论涉及地区安全、防务合作和军事训练。印度对穆伊祖访巴基斯坦的反应印度对穆伊祖向伊斯兰堡示好的举动作出了谨慎回应。
The two governments also agreed to work towards increasing bilateral trade from around $13 million to $200 million within two years. But it was the security dimension of the visit that drew the greatest attention. Muizzu met Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari, as well as Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's army chief and chief of defence forces. Their discussions included regional security, defence cooperation and military training.WHAT INDIA SAID ON MUIZZU'S PAKISTAN VISITIndia responded to Muizzu's Islamabad outreach cautiously.
10月24日，外交部发言人兰迪尔·贾斯瓦尔表示，新德里正在密切关注这些协议，并将在必要时采取适当措施。
On October 24, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi was monitoring the agreements and would take appropriate steps if necessary."
贾斯瓦尔说：“据报道，两国签署了协议。我们正在密切关注这些事态发展，并在必要时将采取任何必要措施。”
It has been reported that agreements were signed between the two countries. We are monitoring these developments closely and will take any necessary steps if required," Jaiswal said.
印度的表述凸显了新德里对一个位于关键印度洋航运航道附近、且处于其直接海上邻域内的国家的事态发展的关注。马尔代夫总统穆伊祖在对伊斯兰堡进行为期三天的国事访问期间，会见了巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫。（X@MMuizzu）马尔代夫无力承受危机：前国防部长发出警告反对派领导人的担忧不仅仅在于马累与伊斯兰堡签署的协议数量。他们主要担心的是，马尔代夫能否在不给其与印度的关系制造不确定性的前提下，拓展与巴基斯坦的关系。
India's version underscored New Delhi's attention to developments in a country situated close to key Indian Ocean shipping routes and within its immediate maritime neighbourhood. Mohamed Muizzu, President of the Maldives, met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during a three-day state visit to Islamabad. (X@MMuizzu)THE MALDIVES CANNOT AFFORD CRISIS: EX-DEFENCE MINISTER WARNSThe concerns of the opposition leaders are not just about the number of agreements signed between Male and Islamabad. They are mainly on whether the Maldives can expand its relationship with Pakistan without creating uncertainty in its ties with India.
前国防部长玛丽亚·艾哈迈德·迪迪在10月25日由马尔代夫新闻媒体《Adhadhu》发表的一篇评论文章中指出，鉴于印巴之间持续存在的紧张局势，这些安全协议值得审慎审视。
In an opinion article published by the Maldivian news outlet Adhadhu on October 25, former defence minister Mariya Ahmed Didi argued that the security agreements deserved scrutiny because of the continuing tensions between India and Pakistan.
迪迪承认，在医疗、教育、贸易、农业和旅游等领域与巴基斯坦开展合作，可能提供真正的机遇。
Didi acknowledged that cooperation with Pakistan in healthcare, education, trade, agriculture and tourism could offer genuine opportunities.
她还强调，马尔代夫有权与两国保持独立关系。“这些关系并非互斥，”她在马累本地数字新闻媒体发表的评论文章中写道。但迪迪也警告说，无论政府意图如何，外交接触都可能被解读为更广泛战略协调的迹象。“单项协议、公开声明和外交姿态都可能被解读为更广泛战略协调的证据，即使这并非本意，”马尔代夫前国防部长写道。
She also stressed that the Maldives had every right to maintain independent relations with both countries." These relationships are not mutually exclusive," she wrote in her Op-ed published by the Male-based digital news outlet. But Didi also warned that diplomatic engagements could be interpreted as signs of a wider strategic alignment, regardless of the government's intentions." Individual agreements, public statements and diplomatic gestures can be interpreted as evidence of wider strategic alignment, even when that is not the intention," the former defence minister of the Maldives wrote.
她警告称，印度与巴基斯坦之间的紧张局势升级可能会给马累在外交立场、安全伙伴关系、情报关系以及设施和能力使用方面带来压力。迪迪并非暗示马尔代夫应避开巴基斯坦。相反，她质疑，由穆伊祖领导的政府是否充分评估了其安全承诺的长期后果，以及是否有足够的保障措施来保护该国的战略自主权。她的担忧也反映了马尔代夫的经济压力。
She cautioned that an escalation between India and Pakistan could place Male under pressure over its diplomatic positions, security partnerships, intelligence relationships and the use of its facilities and capabilities. Didi was not suggesting that the Maldives should avoid Pakistan. Rather, she questioned whether the Muizzu-led government had adequately assessed the long-term consequences of its security commitments and whether sufficient safeguards were in place to protect the country's strategic autonomy. Her concerns also reflect the economic strains of the Maldives.
旅游业是外汇的主要来源，而该国高度依赖进口。任何影响连通性、游客信心或贸易的长期地区不稳定，都可能对普通马尔代夫人产生影响。因此，对于一个小岛国来说，与邻国保持和平与稳定关系既是安全优先事项，也是经济必要。2025年访问马累期间，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪受到马尔代夫总统穆罕默德·穆伊祖的盛大欢迎。
Tourism is a major source of foreign exchange, while the country depends heavily on imports. Any prolonged regional instability that affects connectivity, visitor confidence or trade could have consequences for ordinary Maldivians. For a small island state, maintaining peace and stable relations with its neighbours is therefore both a security priority and an economic necessity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a grand welcome by Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu during his visit to Male in 2025. (PTI)PAK RAISES KASHMIR ISSUE, MUIZZU KEEPS MUM, CALLS FOR SAARC REVIVALThe diplomatic significance of the visit was further sharpened by Pakistan bringing its disputes with India into discussions.
（PTI）巴基斯坦提及克什米尔问题，穆伊祖保持沉默，呼吁复兴南盟此次访问的外交意义因巴基斯坦将其与印度的争端带入讨论而更加凸显。巴基斯坦总理谢里夫向穆伊祖通报了伊斯兰巴德关于查谟和克什米尔以及印度河水条约（IWT）的立场。伊斯兰巴德反对新德里在2025年4月将印度河水条约搁置的决定，此举是在帕哈加姆恐怖袭击之后采取的。穆伊祖在访问期间未公开支持巴基斯坦关于克什米尔或该条约的立场。
Pakistan PM Sharif shared Islamabad's position on Jammu and Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) with Muizzu. Islamabad has opposed New Delhi's decision to place the IWT in abeyance in April 2025, following the Pahalgam terror attack. Muizzu did not publicly endorse Pakistan's positions on Kashmir or the treaty during the visit.
不过，他呼吁复兴南亚区域合作联盟（Saarc），该区域组织上一次峰会于2014年在加德满都举行。该组织原定于2016年在巴基斯坦举行的第19次峰会，因同年发生的乌里恐怖袭击而取消。穆伊祖表示，马尔代夫准备与成员国合作召开另一次峰会。这一提议是在长期的印度—巴基斯坦僵局背景下提出的，该僵局已使该组织陷入停滞。
He did, however, call for the revival of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc), the regional grouping whose last summit was held in Kathmandu in 2014. The 19th summit of the grouping, that was set to take place in Pakistan in 2016, was cancelled following the Uri terror attack the same year. Muizzu said the Maldives was ready to work with member countries to convene another summit. The proposal comes against the backdrop of a long-standing India-Pakistan impasse that has stalled the organisation.
印度方面则一直坚持，区域合作若没有无恐怖主义的环境便无法推进。因此，复兴南盟需要解决阻碍其峰会举行的政治障碍。马尔代夫总统穆罕默德·穆伊祖与巴基斯坦副总理兼外长伊沙克·达尔举行了代表团级别会谈。（X@ForeignOfficePk）穆伊祖的政治历程：从“印度出局”到微妙的平衡术穆伊祖与巴基斯坦的接触之所以更加重要，是因为他与印度的政治过往。
India, for its part, has maintained that regional cooperation cannot advance without an environment free of terrorism. The revival of Saarc would therefore require addressing the political obstacles that have prevented its summits from taking place. Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu held delegation-level talks with Pakistan's Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. (X@ForeignOfficePk)MUIZZU'S POLITICAL JOURNEY: FROM 'INDIA OUT' TO A DELICATE BALANCING ACTMuizzu's engagement with Pakistan becomes more vital because of his political past with India.
他于2023年率领人民国民大会党（PNC）执政，主张“印度出局”平台，要求撤离驻扎在马尔代夫的印度军事人员。
He led the People's National Congress (PNC) to power in 2023 on an "India Out" platform, demanding the withdrawal of Indian military personnel stationed in the Maldives.
2024年5月，负责操作和维护用于人道主义援助和医疗撤离飞机的印度军事人员被文职技术人员取代。此后，穆伊祖一直寻求修复与新德里的关系，其中包括印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪于2025年7月对马尔代夫进行国事访问。在这张2025年的照片中，莫迪总理在天津举行的上海合作组织（SCO）峰会期间，会见马尔代夫总统穆罕默德·穆伊祖。
In May 2024, Indian military personnel operating and maintaining aircraft used for humanitarian assistance and medical evacuations were replaced by civilian technical personnel. Since then, Muizzu has sought to repair ties with New Delhi, including through a state visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Maldives in July 2025. In this 2025 image, PM Modi meets Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, in Tianjin, China. (PTI)Former Maldivian foreign minister Abdulla Shahid, who is seeking the leadership of the MDP ahead of the 2028 presidential election, has accused Muizzu of moving in an "anti-India" direction again.
（PTI图片）前马尔代夫外交部长阿卜杜拉·沙希德正在角逐马尔代夫民主党（MDP）领导权，以备战2028年总统大选，他指责穆伊祖再次转向“反印”方向。在接受《印度教徒报》采访时，沙希德辩称，随着下届大选临近，总统可能会重提反印言论。“总统[穆伊祖]试图再次把印度炒作成议题，因为对他来说，他没能兑现承诺，”沙希德对该报表示，指责政府未能兑现其承诺。
In an interview with The Hindu newspaper, Shahid argued that the president could revive anti-India rhetoric as the next election approaches." The President [Muizzu] is trying to make India the issue again, because for him, he hasn't been able to perform," Shahid told the newspaper, alleging that the government had failed to deliver on its promises.
然而，这些属于反对派的评估，并非穆伊祖意图重启竞选活动或让马尔代夫倒向印度对立面的确凿证据。他的政府继续将其外交政策描述为“马尔代夫优先”，强调与多方伙伴接触。挑战在于将这一原则转化为可信的平衡术。马尔代夫可以在保持与巴基斯坦关系的同时维护其与印度的重要伙伴关系，但防务和海上合作需要明确其范围和影响。- 结束 -
However, these are opposition assessments, and not clear proof that Muizzu intends to revive the campaign or align the Maldives against India. His government has continued to describe its foreign policy as "Maldives First", emphasising engagement with multiple partners. The challenge is to turn that principle into a credible balancing act. The Maldives can maintain relations with Pakistan while preserving its vital partnership with India, but defence and maritime cooperation require clarity about their scope and implications.- Ends
