來自中國的大量貸款正幫助馬爾地夫修建各種基礎設施，這股基建熱潮讓剛剛上台兩週的馬爾地夫新政府感到不安。馬爾地夫財長表示，希望與中國談一談，試著重新磋商貸款償還期限。馬爾地夫的困境與許多參與中國“一帶一路”計劃的國家如出一轍，這種情形已廣為人知。 馬爾地夫前領導人亞明曾希望藉助來自中國的資金把該國的首都地區變成印度洋上的新加坡。亞明的計劃是基於一項政策轉變，即讓馬爾地夫與中國結盟，放棄與鄰國印度持續數十年的關係，同時疏遠西方政府。中國為馬爾地夫政府和國有企業提供了數億美元貸款，還引入了大型中國建築公司。 亞明競選失利下台之後，馬爾地夫的外交政策一夜之間發生改變。新外交部長於本周到訪新德里，請求印度立即提供2.5億至3億美元的資助，以解決馬爾地夫目前面臨的預算危機。馬爾地夫新任基礎設施部長Mohamed Aslam稱，希望減緩一些擬建大型項目的實施速度。
