The President's Office said last week that President Muizzu will embark on a state visit to India from October 6th to 10th, 2024, following an official invitation extended by the President of India Droupadi Murmu.
It said during his visit, President Dr. Muizzu is scheduled to hold high-level meetings with President Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and other senior officials of the Indian government.

Additionally, the President attended the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Modi and the Council of Ministers at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi on June 9th, 2024.
The President will be accompanied by a high-level delegation from the Maldives, with the Government of India extending full hospitality during their visit.
President Dr Muizzu remains committed to enhancing bilateral ties with nations that play a crucial role in the development and growth of the Maldives, ensuring a dynamic and proactive foreign policy for the nation.
