with others to be comfortable signing the matter where it takes a police, we have fear, empowered, impartial. we tell your story, we are your voice, your news, your net out is here. the, when we talk about them all the most people may think of the perfect beach holiday destination. beyond the 5 star results to clause waters and white sand lines. major do political interest strategically located in the central indian ocean. this nation of nearly 1200 islands and a little more than half a 1000000 people sits astride one of the world's busiest shipping routes between east and west. and it's turned into

a political back to ground between india and china. since president abraham mohammed saw that took office in 2018, it's been viewed the supportive of close to ties within the new data is being slowly developing its influence on different from the results of the october 1st presidential election may be about to change that opposition leader will come with most who came out victorious. he's widely seen the supportive of closer ties with china. he champions and india outs campaign against utilities, minute 3, presence in the country. as preparations promises swearing in ceremony on november, the 17th around the way, till 12 to 0 travels to them all the to find out how the regional dynamics will change on the he's administration. and how that may impact the country. and it's people in his 1st exclusive interview with international media, the president elect of the multi is how much nicer talks to wild, dizzy, or how much was the president elect of some of these?

thank you so much for joining us. thank you. let's start with the changing foreign policy of the mole beads. 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, dozens of people. we need to, why is that is uh because, um we see that um our national interests are not being protected. we have a serious doubt that both our independence, being a 6 year old that was sold and they've been in question like indian troops represent a threat to mold in salty m a for the adults. so we don't want you to be here. we see that right and the people have them all this do not want any for the insurance to be, you know, a service. that's the point where they seemed, you know, any other country doesn't mess up at the moment. we have india top, see it,

the president himself has stated this, that here maybe is may say that it's for other purposes, but it doesn't matter for us. we don't want any for interest to hit. and that's the main reason. one of the main reasons the public didn't want this government to continue for the next step. so that's one of the main issues that's 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 till this met with the indian high commission a few days ago during this transition period. and in that meeting itself, i have mentioned that we, we will, i need this to be out of most priority and they have positively not

a debt. and they have said that they would go up together with us to find a way for this. i know i've asked you before, but i'm 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 it's possible within the same, within the 1st week? the best policy it as far as it is explained to view, is why the presence of indian troops you feel is a threat to most of the, the, and sovereignty. we have been away faithful country for centuries, and we never had any financial analysis. we are a small nation. we do not have a sick of military set up. spend any fully to see an analysis. we don't see feel so sick yet. so we don't want any for interest to be here because of that and to have how many we don't,

we don't know how many of them i here and we have we have seen so many of these reports of several thousands of hundreds and you don't even know how many and then because because when even the media requests for details, a sense that they have to go to the supreme court to get some information that that's how how much it's being censored. and we hope this really untrue that this on many of them we help us on a well one. i don't know 1020 of accent because because we don't want so many of you know, even when we met, when i'm into the business of finding out how many of them are here and how to remove them here. we don't want it to be a really big, but we know that india has projects going on in the multi is the helping to build the naval harbor for them. all vivian forces training from all vivian troops. will these kinds of initiatives also and now i don't want any deal with the pin projects

to be 10. so those stopped by the minute tree cooperation will come to the developments in a minute. but military call for a unit c corporation um, as old as being there with it to different countries. it should be that nature, cooperation with other countries as needed. m as simple. when you expand your military cooperation with all the countries to balance your ministry cooperation, countries like china, for example, say we're always bonus and we don't want to be entangled with other in a bigger countries. we want to be in the and so with that and we don't want to as being can other, but it's a pressing circle present to be established just to balance at the end of this month, i was once it's been said that your administration will represent a tilt towards china, how do you see that? i think that's not the way i'm definitely going to run the country out. is

a problem. all this policy is for me. we will not side with any particular country and to please them. it's a, you know, the more this 1st we want our policy is to be at our country is national interest to be safely secure. that's my policy. and with that, any country that's going to be fully respectful of that will be a good friend. you've also promised juan, you would campaigning to fix the trade in balance with india. how do you propose to do that? well, um, i've met with the hypo sure, that is, that is, i just mentioned a few days ago and i highlighted this very important point. is more than roughly half of the day um right now is um for as long as from india and um, i've mentioned to him that we need to find a way to move ahead with this cuz we don't want,

i really kind of need to be so tilted to 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 don't 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 and to in that meeting, they will find a way for it 1st. but present in select, looking at it from the outside, one might ask, how will you objects the indian troops? and at the same time, you'll be asking them for maybe better tons and tons of your loan and your debt obligations to india. do you think they will have an incentive? i think they have and they've clearly mentioned that in that in the very 1st thing 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 don't think they will do that also and i think they will even be interested in giving them all my life for this movie. and do you want us to inventories of sector o in the other areas of the development? i think we need we, we always had a really good relationship with india for many years and i don't want that to be any different. it's only because of this certainty shows that it has and i will definitely be very positive towards the development assistance from india. and i think we were all this has been going on. you've been quoted before saying that you would like to strength and ties with china. it does not mean you'll 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 them all this set? so is 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 china 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 issues, not putting us this big question about how sold it is being put into the question. and we want a really good relationship is all to come to sign up is 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 and policy. and i think that's 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. you're 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 or jane and transparent and accountable. and i think if i'm going to be having this

process towards stopping corruption, i'll 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 proceeds of crime and corruption, vancouver, this is a month to corruption, watch dogs all that it sometimes takes too long to seize assets. when corruption has been to take all of this government and about 5 years. and they have under this area code almost any, any last assets will you change bounce around? definitely. i want to make sure that it's very much, you know, fast checked. how will you move to bring in new laws on that and see if needed. but i think the law is that enough, it's not because it's not because of any legislative officials. they say there's

a lack of legal clarity as to the process of asset recovery. you don't see that the, there's a need for new legislation to all regulation to clarify that process. i said, because i don't think it's because of any lack of clarity. also this, there's 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 to assess the government to be in generally towards doping, corruption. and that's my policy. and i will make sure that that 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 della. i mean not the guy you liked, it's corruption. but i think we, we,

we looked into all of this, it shows 5 and this government has a, you know, more issues. and i think everyone including their own party and the team members them and setting that in the parliament itself, for example, that they have been a know, a statement from the publics, from the finance and as never been before. and for example, during the course periods video stuff, sophia has been lost and nobody knows what's happened. the ventilator supposed to been here, but still this not to you, and we don't know what's happened to them this one example. so i to make sure that the government is very responsible and look into all this. i mean, we don't want to have a public finance to be public money to be issues. and my going to be definitely a theme government and we will not hold any information from the media o anybody,

if any, any media? oh any. i thought i'd take one to know anything about what's going on in the government. it will be easy. they are in the button, but you're also on the record of saying that you will seek or to set the form of president free. explained to view is why someone who was convicted of corruption should be set free. especially if you want to enhance the on to corruption power. let's say um if, if that's the topic, i think that the issue is different. not completely, as you have mentioned. so politically, monte rated uh charge that's 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 it's free and fat from day one, and i will definitely stapleton my says to make sure that it's free and fair. what

measures really bring one thing is the traditional service commission is very much for the ticket. 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 the service commission and such and such other than it shows a 14. so what do you agree with the recommendations by the you and special rep, 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 that's the body that appoints and remove judges as a series of the she said it is politicize, but she says that it should be composed entirely of form of judges. it should not have any political figures. that's not something you don't have any place to go. thank us. yes. and you give a guarantee that you will,

you will transform this voltage because this, and that's what i place in the content as well. but then if you believe so, the conviction of, of, you mean of the, you was political wouldn't be better to work through the judicial system and the evidence to get him released through a traditional process rather than as it's been reported that you requested to have him move stuff to house so right. they say that the judicial process and the lows allows the government, the president to change where somebody is been kept it without moving from the jail to al serra so, so on. right. it's something that just loaded a lot, but really somebody completely into making 3. okay. and so what has been, i know the body. that's of course up to the guys. ok. let's talk about the fact of climate change. there's a lot of, as you, i'm sure aware,

another 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, it's 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 don't think that much accurate. and so this being the story is 50 years ago as well. and we don't see it as the low rise going on that much. and they spend a sense, 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 them all this to me, that serious of because we need a new tactic very seriously. the climate shows and we need more focus on climate edification. i think the, our policy is being that, that the oldest and i think we, we, we went to

a developing products page with our service or to a friend or infrastructure. the other one, the, all of us make sure that we try to and our environment very seriously. and we take measures to product and we don't have enough of that. so what we do is to create that and even for results, that's the trend in some areas, either of the country. but what typically do we make sure that the car was projected, 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, then she'll challenge for them all these or have we got in the atlanta 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 in the wills, different have been doing differently. 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 all you guessing the technical and financial support, you need not even close. so if you're 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 don't think that that may be as practica as isn't 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 invest more on funding and government funding in remember that has an audit if there's at the admissions and all of us or solving or call it back every day or the front. i don't see an international body atlanta to this and find a way to fast track the assistance that we need. let's talk about what mold these means to the world. you've succeeded in the multi, it's in becoming a success story of turning a small island nation into a massive global brand. what's been the secret for your success? and i think it's just our natural beauty and the hospitality of the people. it's 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 uh, its completion is opening will you know, hoping to be good for us to expand that to isn't sector. so there may be further demands and you'll spending going forward. let's 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 you've 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 don't spend on unnecessary areas that uh,

that tends to be stopped. and i think what does the necessary? yeah, it's not as nice. institutions have cooled for an end to the blanket subsidies. is that something you thinking? i think they're spending too much on some 30 current expenses too much to too many uh, probably to for that point is and so on and so on. i think that they've been borrowing from the central bank for paying the full salary cents on these kinds of things done. so not happen. we get enough revenue from the toys and so on, which, which is enough to manage the day to day expenses and, but you're not thinking of touching subsidies, subsidies. uh, i think, i don't think we will do that. we'll raising taxes, logistics, but we'll include the tech space. um, we have many is are still come into existence. the front section. we will invest

more in the future sector. and i think our income can, is a lot like, 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 protests and rallies. is that something that you would commit to changing now, i've already publicly commented to that during the conversion, and i will make sure that it's cancelled, you know, as anybody should be able to, everybody should be able to expect or whatever they want between those. and you know, the freedom of assembly, so it'd be, you know, on condition a right. and it will be, i will put it on the parliament and i hope to apply them 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 uh 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 you've got 2 major pallas in doing 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 don't want to be caught on cutting that and we don't think, i don't think we really having issues with that. because if we, if our policies pro montes and it's on the, i was of interest that we put the trust. i think everybody has to respect that. and we can easily will head with all the powers or the, you know,

the process that's out office president, the legs of them all these but how much was the thank you so much for talking 12, this is the glass of water. i'll just ears, correspondence on the bus. this morning has a tall boardman air strikes. sack shells as guns, bolts from the seats. there's been a lot of destruction in the village as well as a deal with a number of bodies from the south in the air. just stay with us for the latest development on. i'll just hear we don't typically focus on the product itself. the conflict is the consequence of war, the human suffering definitely the 4th time. it is one of the most serious spouts

of violence. in recent years. we brave bullets involved because we give voice to those demanding freedom the rule of law and we always include the views from all sides. the . ready ready from bob and it's ongoing side of the us, president moines israel, not to occupy the enclaves saying it would be a mistake. there needs to be policy. there needs to be a pass to policy these i money insight, this is down to is there a knife from the hall without continuing coverage of the cause of was that coming up.
