India sends drinking Water to help Maldives in time of crisis

[ladder]

What's with INS Jalahaswa? It wasn't used during the Philippines crisis and now this, wasn't it supposed to be used in such humanitarian issues?

Maldives ought to be part of Republic of India ... we need to not only have (current) kashmir approach.

India's soft power on display. I guess sushma swaraj is handling her job well.:thumb:

They will drink our water and then spit right into our mouth. Just wait and watch.

Its stupidity on part of Maldivians to not have a back in the event of sole RO plant going bust. We need to as much as we can to bring Maldivians back under our circle of influence.

China sends fresh water to Maldives - Chinadaily.com.cn

BEIJING - China will ship about 1,000 tons fresh water to water-starved Maldives via plane and vessel, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry and Defence Ministry on Saturday evening.

About 150,000 residents are faced with water scarcity in Male, capital of Maldives, as a fire at the Maldives Water and Sewage Company damaged some of the company's equipments and forced suspension of water supply to Male on Thursday.

In response to Maldivian government's request, China has provided emergency aid in cash and drinking water to the country, Chinese Foreign Ministry said.

China has arranged delivery of bottled water in two Chinese civil aircrafts to Male. The first plane has arrived with 12 tons bottled water at 6 am Saturday morning local time, while the second one with eight tons will get there on Saturday night, Chinese foreign ministry said, adding that more water will be sent.

An ocean rescue vessel of the Chinese navy suspended its escort mission and headed for Male port at 9 p.m. on Friday. With 960 tons fresh water and seawater desalting facility on board, the vessel is scheduled to arrive at the destination at 3 a.m. on Monday, Chinese Defense Ministry said.

Aircrafts of Chinese air force have been ready for urgent rescue mission, and the Chinese side is applying for air route with relevant countries, the defense ministry added.

Not sure if it is feasible, can India provide/sell electricity to Maldives?

Our foreign policy must be such that nobody dares to play any game against us.

If only everybody's wishes come true, world would be a boring place isn't it. Unfortunately we are not there yet. Ten years down the line who knows.

This on some media is blamed on the alleged neighbouring country for delaying/denying the permission for supplying 40t of fresh water, what's on Chinese media about it?

No idea abt "denying" or "delaying" ?! It's only reported Male's requested assistance from America, India, Sri Lanka and China.

Below is the ocean rescue vessel "Changxingdao" to arrive at Male at 3 a.m. on Monday with 960 tons fresh water and seawater desalting facility on board
