Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu, Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, Mauritius PM Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, and Bhutan PM Tshering Togbay have arrived in Delhi.

Foreign dignitaries arrived in New Delhi to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi for a third term as the Prime Minister of India. Among the foreign leaders arriving in the national capital was Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu who is on his maiden trip to India after after he became the island nation's president on November 17 last year.

"President @MMuizzu of Maldives arrives to a warm welcome in New Delhi to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on 'X'.

Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth also touched down in Delhi on Sunday to attend the swearing-in ceremony. Both Jugnauth and Muizzu are among the leaders of seven countries from India's neighbourhood and the Indian Ocean region who will attend the ceremony to be held at 7:15 pm in Rashtrapati Bhawan.
