- Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made the announcement following talks in Manila.

Operation Cactus
- ‘India Out’ was a campaign slogan for Maldives president-elect Mohamed Muizzu, who will take over the country’s reins on November 17. Over the past decade or so, anti-India sentiments have been rising in the island nation — and many Maldivians have a long list of grievances.
- Yet, 35 years after the fact, India’s intervention in the 1988 coup attempt in Malé — codenamed Operation Cactus — continues to be remembered with gratitude and fondness.
- “Across party lines in the Maldives, they don’t criticise this operation. They will mention other issues that they have with India, but not this,” Dr Gulbin Sultana, a Maldives expert. We recall the events that unfolded on November 3 and 4, 1988 in Maldives, and how India prevented a coup in the island nation.
- Maumoon Abdul Gayoom (born 1937) became president of Maldives in 1978, amidst economic troubles and political instability. Gayoom eventually went on and ruled his country for 30 years, but in the 1980s, he faced three attempted coups (in 1980, 1983 and 1988), led by Maldivians disgruntled at his rule.
