The Maldivian leader has attended the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Council of Ministers of the government of India.

The ceremony was held at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi on Sunday.

Modi is the first three-term Prime Minister to be sworn in since former PM Jawaharlal Nehru.

The oath of office was administered to Modi by Indian President Droupadi Murmu at the ceremony.

The ceremony was attended by thousands of dignitaries, including leaders from neighboring countries.
