October on tuesday, around the when we talk about them all these, most people may think of the perfect beach holiday destination. Beyond the 5 star results to clause walters and white sand lines made you do political interest strategically located in the central indian ocean. This nation of maybe 1200 islands and a little more than half a 1000000 people sits astride one of the of busiest shipping routes. Between east and west and its turned into a political background between india and china. Since president Abraham Mohammed saw that took office in 2018, its been viewed the supportive of close to ties within the u. Daddy has been slowly developing its influence on different from the results of the october 1st president ial election may be about to change. That Opposition Leader will come with most who came out victorious. Hes widely seen the supportive of closest ties with china. He champions and india out campaign against new dallas ministry presence in the country as preparations from wiser swearing in ceremony on november, the 17th around the way, till 12 to 0 travels to the multi to find out how the regional dynamics will change under his administration. And how that may impact the country and its people. In his 1st exclusive interview with international media, the president elect of them all the how much my su talks tomorrow, jesse are the, how much was the president elect of some of these. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Lets start with the changing Foreign Policy of the mold. These. We understand. One of your Campaign Promises has been that indian troops should leave them all these. When will they lease . Uh, i was waiting for the say. Um right now theres a lot of people we need to. Why is that . Is because we see that our National Interest on not being protected. We have serious doubts about our independence being a 6 year old i was sold and theyve been in question like indian troops represent a threat to mold in solid and t m a for the job. So we dont want it to be here. We see that in the people of them, all this do not want any for the insurance to be, you know, a service. So thats the point where they seem to, you know, any other country, it doesnt matter at the moment. We have india top, see it, the president himself has stated this, that here maybe is may say that its for other purposes, but it doesnt matter for us. We dont want any for interest to hit. And thats the main reason why dont the manager does the public, didnt want this government to continue for the next step. So thats one of the main issues thats on the agenda for, for the policy. And i will make sure that we find a way diplomatic to the, to talk with Indian Government to remove them from us us as soon as we can, when will you officially request, then indian troops to leave . Will it be day one of your president say november 17th, different the day one and a half until this met with the Indian High Commission a few days ago during this transition period and investigating itself. I have mentioned that we, we will need this to be out of most privacy and they have a positively not a debt. And they have said that they would Work Together with us to find a way for looking at this. I know ive asked you before, but im going to try and put it in a different way. Would you say that your you would like to see indian troops leave them all these within a year of you taking office . Is that definitely even if its possible within the same, within the 1st week . Thats how it see it as far as it is explained to view is why the presence of indian troops who feel is a threat to multi v and sovereignty. We have been that way, face or country for centuries, and we never had any financial analysis. We are a small nation. We do not have a sick of ministry setup and any fully to see in the analysis, we dont see fear of a so sick you. So we dont want any for interest to be here because of that, and i do have how many we dont, we dont know how many of them here and we have we have seen so many of these reports of several 1000. So it was hundreds and you dont even know how many and then because we, because um, when even the media requests for details, a sense that they have to go to the Supreme Court to get some information that thats how how much its being censored. And we hope this really untrue that so many of them we help us on a well one. I dont know. 1020 max sent me a quote because we dont want so many of you know, even when we met, when im into the business of finding out how many of them are here and how to move them here. We dont want it to be really big. But we know that india has projects going on in the multi is that helping to build the naval harbor for the move in full say is training from all of vivian troops. Will these kinds of initiatives also end . No, i dont want any development projects. Toby, 10, so those stopped the mid a tree cooperation will come to the developments in a minute, but military cooperated c corporation. And its all of us being there with the different countries. It should be that difficult person with at other countries as needed. M as simple. When you expand your minutes, a cooperation with all the countries to balance, youll ministry cooperation, countries like china, for example. Say were always bonus and we dont want to be entangled with our, the bigger countries. We want to be in the and so with that and we dont want to it as being can other this a present circle present to be established just to balance at the end of this month. I was, once its been said that your administration will represent a tilt towards china. How do you see that . I think thats not the way im definitely going to under frontier out is a problem or this policy is for me. We will not side with any particular county and to please them. Its a, you know, or the mortgage 1st we want our policy is to be at our countrys National Interest to be safely secure. Thats my policy. And with that and the country thats going to be fully respectful of that will be a good friend. Youve also promised whiny would campaigning to fix the trade in balance with india. How do you propose to do that . Well, um, ive met with the hypo, but should i is or is i just mentioned a few days ago and i highlighted this very important point. A more than roughly half of the day. Um right now is um for as long as from india and ive mentioned to him that we need to find a way to move ahead with this cuz we dont want i really kind of need to be so tilted at one side as it is now. And they have a open for that. What are you looking for rescheduling isaac indian, that i think it should be. Yeah. So we need to find a way to refinance them out. And maybe i dont know if possible to be able some of the loans make it as easy as possible for us and i think and then getting mentioned to me in to in that meeting, they will find a way for it for us, but present and select looking at it from the outside, one might ask, how will you objects the indian troops . And at the same time, youll be asking them for maybe benefit tons and tons of your loan and youll get obligations to india. Do you think they will have an incentive . I think they have and they have clearly may send that in that in the very 1st meeting i have with them. I can understand these things though. Some of the indian, the level of indian investment might decrease that they have a lot of investments in them. All these the great to model a connectivity projects. You have lines of credits. Do you think any of that might decrease . I really dont think they will do that also and i think that will even be interested in giving them all the light is for this movie. And do you want us to in the Tourism Sector or in the other areas of the development st. Really we, we always had a really Good Relationship with india for many years and i dont want that to be any different. Its only because of the certainty shows that have and i will definitely be very positive towards the Development Assistance from india. And i think we were all this has been going on. Youve been quoted before saying that you would like to strength and ties with china. It does not mean youll at least perhaps even move closer to china. How would you like to strength and ties to china as being a very close friend of the list said so as almost all the other countries. And we have had a lot of assistance from china recently except for this governance period. And i think of the Development Assistance has helped us a lot, and i think time is a policy towards to come to some of this. And other countries mainly is, is how it should be either not interfering with the domestic issue is not putting us this big question about how sold it is being put to the question. And we want a really good way to ship it all the time to sign up as a very big country and other countries as well. To make sure that we get the maximum benefit. This should be a mutually beneficial for you in policy. And i think thats the way forward with every country we go to talk about some critical issue related to corruption when the presidency was last occupied by a candidates of your policy, the progressive policy for them all these the countries ranking and Transparency International is corruption, index was at a full 100 and 24th position. Today is your head towards assuming the presidency. Youre at a better position of 85th. What do you say the wisdom was due to those who are worried that progress and fighting corruption might be jeopardized as the progressive policy heads back into the presidency again. So say my policy towards that, you know, generally for the whole, you know, the government is directed to medicaid, 13 and transparent and accountable. And i think if im going to be having this process towards stopping corruption, ill definitely make sure that every office of the government is addressing it the same way we bring in specific legislation, for example, as being one of the halls by International Organization specific legislation to facilitate the recovery of assets and the proceeds of crime and Corruption Bank for this is a month to corruption, watch dogs, all that it sometimes takes too long to seize assets when corruption has been detect. Oh, well, this government about 5 years and they have on this record, almost any, any last assets will you change bounce around . Definitely. I want to make sure that its very much, you know, fast checked. How will you move to bring in new laws on thats if needed . But i think the law is that enough. Its not that because its not because of any legislative officials. They say theres a lack of legal clarity as to the process of asset recovery. You dont see that there is a need for new legislation to all regulation. To clarify that process. I see it because i dont think its because of any lack of clarity also. So if theres a genuine effort being put in to the color of this last assets and so it could be done, is it . And we need that genuine effort. We need our, the whole effort, assessing government to be in generally towards stopping corruption. And thats my policy, and i will make sure that it happens this time has the progressive policy of them all. These learn from the lessons the issues the convictions as well as allegations that were made against the former president of the i mean of the guy you were liked, its corruption. But i think that we, we, we looked into all of this, it shows forever. And this government has a, you know, more issues and i think everyone including their own party and if you members them and setting that in the file number itself for example, that they have been a no stealing from the publics from the finance is never been before and for example, during the course period 1000000000, so for us here has been lost and nobody knows whats happened. The ventilator supposed to be here, but still this not to you, and we dont know whats happened to them this one example. So i the next so that the government is very responsible and look into all this. I mean we, we dont want our Public Finance to be public money to be issues and might go into the definitely a theme government. And it was not told any information from the media, anybody, if any, any media or any ability want to know anything about whats going in the government. It will be easy. They are in the button. But youre also on the record of saying that you will seek to set the form of president free, explained to v o is why someone who was convicted of corruption should be set free. Especially if you want to enhance the Anti Corruption power. Lets say um if, if thats the topic, i think that the issue is different. Not completely, as you mentioned. So politically, monte rated charge thats been put on him. And we see that very clearly if we think the conviction was politically motivated. Yes. Do you think the judicial system in the old days is free and 7, not at the moment . And i will make sure that is free and fair from day one. And i will definitely put in my says to make sure that its free and fair. What measures will you bring it . Well, one thing is that the Additional Service commission is very much for that because i will change the oil change at all to make it clearly uh removed from 4 digit code uh, influence. This one think the administration of fiduciary will be clearly removed from this website is commission and such and such other shows a 14. So what do you agree with the recommendations by the un special wrap, a tour on the independence of judges who wrote in february of this year that the Judicial Services commission, the commission you mention, which maybe we should explain for you is thats the body that appoints and remove judges as a she agrees with you. She said it is politicize, but she says that it should be composed entirely of form and judges. It should not have any political figures. Thats not something you dont have any political thing goes yes. And you give a guarantee that you will, you will transform this voltage because this, and thats what i place in the container as well. But then if you believe so, the conviction of, of the mean of the you was political wouldnt be better to work through the judicial system and the evidence to get him released through a traditional process rather than as its been reported that you requested to have him move stuff to house so right. They say that the judicial process and the law as low as the government, the president to change where somebody is been kept it without moving from the jail to our service to us on something that just loaded a lot. But really somebody completely into making 3. Okay. And so what has been, i know the body. Thats of course up to the guys. Ok. Lets talk about the fact of climate change. Theres a lot of, as you, im sure aware, a lot of warnings from International Organizations. Predictions that by 205080 percent of them, all these will be uninhabitable. Do you have a plan to count to that . Well, its all this being the same story and the reality, you know, bind to that, those predictions i think now sort of made them were to be honest, i dont think that much accurate. And so all of this being the story is 50 years ago as well. And we dont see it as see low rise going on that much and explain to said, why do you disagree with those predictions . Tell me what is it that the world is missing in the store . I think if people come here and see for themselves, they will see this is not true then all of this, to me, that serious of cause to be in it. I mean, you take it very seriously, the climate they shows and we need more focus on climate adaptation. I think the, our policy is being that, that the oldest and i think we, we went what to do with different products that with our service or do it up front or influx to the other one. We always make sure that we try to and our environment very seriously, and we take the interest of product and we dont have enough of that. So what we do is to create that and even for results, thats the trend in some areas, either of the country. But what typically do we make sure that the car was protected, but there was a mistake the, the fact. So the thing is that have come out presently like talk about massive carl bleaching has already happened. Even the former president of mold is my home in the shade said 90 percent of the islands have already experience severe erosion at best because not what they have been doing is because of the global dover approach to this climate. So show, but is it, you know, is that not still an exist central challenge for them all these or have we got in the end or something the International Leaders need to seriously help us with, do you think the mold, the nation in this sense is a victim of what the welfare of nations and the wills definitely have been doing. Definitely. There was a prediction, there was a commitment, actually there was a commitment that by 2030 mold, these will be able to reach 0 emissions. If the most of these gets technical and Financial Support from the world are, are you guessing the technical and Financial Support you need not even close. So if youre not even close to getting the help you need is the mold. These still on track for 0 emissions by 2030 as officials have previously committed to roll out what i look into that i dont think that there may be as practica as isnt has to be. But of course we need that to be achieved. What can you do differently from previous administrations to help move the country to that sort of target date . We will in the small on funding and government funding in remember that has an audit if theres at the admissions and all of us also being the quarterback. Every day of the front, i dont see an International Body atlanta to this and find a way to fast track the assistance that we need. Lets talk about what mold these means to the world. Youve succeeded in the multi, its them becoming a Success Story of turning a small island nation into a massive global brand. Whats been the secret for your success . I think its just our Natural Beauty and the hospitality of the people. Its been really the key and the, the effort of, uh, being under construction, the expansion of it, which i will do my best to speed up its completion and its opening will you know, hoping to be good for us to expand that to us and sector. So there may be further demands on youll spending Going Forward. Lets talk a little bit about the economy. If we can. The economy is growing by 5. 5 percent in the 1st quarter of 2023. Poverty rates have fallen your own costs for 2 point one percent poverty right this year. But at the same time, youve got some challenges. Inflation is rising as the level rise of Commodity Prices goes up. That payments are becoming a strain. Reserves have fallen. What is your plan to manage some of these fiscal precious differently, the economy is in a very serious condition, and we will, 1st of all, we will make sure that we dont spend on unnecessary areas that uh, that tends to be stopped. And i think what does the necessary . Yeah. As long as its nice to institutions have cooled for an end to the blanket subsidies. Is that something you thinking . I think theyre spending too much on some very current expenses too much too, too many uh for me to fill that point is and so on and so on. I think that theyve been borrowing from the central bank for paying the full salary since on these kinds of things done. So not happen that we get enough revenue from the doors and so on, which, which is enough to manage the day to day expenses and, but youre not thinking of touching subsidies, subsidies. Uh, i think i dont think we will do that. Well raising taxes, logistics, but well increase the tech space. Um we have many is are still come into existence, the construction. We will invest more in the future sector. And i think our income can please a lot by, you know, investing more in digital sectors when it comes to press freedoms. What do you say to International Human rights organizations who say the needs to be reform to the freedom of Peaceful Assembly acts because it replies people of them all these to get to permit 1st in order to hold protest rallies. Is that something that you would commit to changing . Now, ive already publicly committed to that to the convent and i will make sure that its cancer, you know, as anybody should be able to, everybody shall be able to express or whatever they want to between those and you know, the freedom of assembly. So itd be, you know, on condition a right, and it will be, i will put it on the part of the month. And i hope the bottom to the next step is to present to like, what will the mold these be a symbol of Going Forward in the future on the, your leadership. We want to be, you know, respected all the neighbors and the old interNational Community to be our friends. And we want to have a very close relationship with the whole. Well what, what about the do political struggle . We are in a very strategic position onto one of the key trading roads and youve got 2 major pallas, india and china. Not very far away from you. Do you feel sometimes like your cold in a dynamics that you prefer not to be part of . Well, um, it may be so, but we, we dont want to be caught up, caught in that and we dont think, i dont think we really have any issues with that. Because if we, if our policies pro montes and its on the, i was of interest that people trust. I think everybody has to respect that. And we can easily will head with all the powers or the, you know, the process thats out Office President , the legs of them all these what, how much was the thank you so much for talking 12. This is the in 5432 more upfront. Takes on the big issue. This isnt a one off you. Something about a systemic issue here. Black labs dont really matter, and the police were unflinching questions is war with were wanting to imminent rigorous debate. People were dying because of lots of medical treatments, challenging conventional was the fact that people are starting to get angry about this is in itself a sign of progress.
