KEPENTINGAN MALADEWA MENERIMA PRESIDEN GOTABAYA RAJAPAKSA DI TENGAH KRISIS EKONOMI SRI LANKA
Abstract
Hubungan antara Maladewa dan Sri Lanka memiliki akar yang dalam dan beragam, mulai dari aspek sejarah, budaya, ekonomi, hingga politik. Maladewa, yang dikenal sebagai tujuan wisata mewah di Samudra Hindia, telah lama menjalin hubungan erat dengan negara tetangganya, yaitu Sri Lanka. Faktor utama penyebab krisis ekonomi Sri Lanka akibat tidak mampu membayar utang luar negeri. Pada April lalu, pemerintah Sri Lanka gagal membayar utang luar negeri sebesar US$15 miliar atau sekitar Rp764 triliun. Banyak harga barang mengalami kenaikan, terutama barang impor, dan bahan bakar minyak (BBM) kian hari, kian langka. gejolak di masyarakat tak bisa dibendung. demonstrasi besar-besaran tampak di berbagai wilayah Sri Lanka. Penerimaan Maladewa terhadap Presiden Sri Lanka Gotabaya Rajapaksa pada Juli 2022 menjadi sorotan utama dalam konteks geopolitik regional. Rajapaksa melarikan diri ke Maladewa di tengah krisis politik dan ekonomi yang melanda Sri Lanka, yang ditandai dengan protes besar-besaran akibat kelangkaan bahan bakar, obat-obatan, dan kebutuhan pokok lainnya. Keputusan Maladewa untuk menerima Rajapaksa bisa dilihat dari beberapa perspektif strategis. pemerintah Maladewa memilih untuk berpegang pada prinsip kemanusiaan dan diplomasi dengan memberikan perlindungan.
