On the occasion of 'Victory Day', Maldivian Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid remembered the military support provided by India in 1988 to Maldives against a coup. "Our highest gratitude and deepest appreciation shall never diminish," Shahid said. A few hundred mercenaries mounted a coup against the then President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom but intervention by India restored the government rule. #sutathu,#maldives,#india,#world
