The president of the Maldives has urged the UK not to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, arguing against the proposed handover in a formal letter to the British prime minister. The move comes amid ongoing diplomatic discussions about the islands' future, which have been a point of contention between the UK and Mauritius for years. The letter highlights concerns over the potential implications of the transfer, though details of the specific arguments remain undisclosed. The issue continues to draw international attention as both nations weigh their positions.
