Male: Maldives business tycoon Mohamed Ali Janah has appreciated India for helping his nation during COVID-19 pandemic.

He expressed hope that numbers of tourists from India to Maldives will increase as the government is easing restrictions.

“We have had almost 600,000 tourists coming to Maldives under very difficult circumstances. Most of the tourists come to Maldives from Russia followed by India,” Janah told ANI here.

“Because of the high numbers of COVID-19 patients in this part of the world, the government temporarily closed the borders, but then now they again open so I’m sure that India would overtake Russia. I would say that Russia and India saved Maldives, during these very difficult circumstances,” he said.

Talking about India as an investment destination, Janah elaborated that business communities from both countries can get together and diversify.
“I think it is high time that Maldives also follow that path. And Maldivian businessmen could get together with Indian businessmen and diversify our businesses into this part of the world,” he told ANI.
