NEW DELHI: The two Indian military helicopters, gifted to Maldives, are likely to stay back along with a 48-member crew and support staff for at least the next few months as talks between the two countries on their continued deployment in the island nation were "positive", diplomatic and military sources told PTI on Sunday.

新德里：两架赠给马尔代夫的印度军用直升机，在至少未来几个月两国之间进行“积极”谈判期间，可能会连同其他48名机组成员和后勤人员继续部署在这个岛国上，外交和军事消息人士周日告诉托拉斯报业。

The lease agreement of the two helicopters, given to Maldives in 2013, has expired and the island nation had conveyed to New Delhi that it would not like to retain them.

这两架直升机在2013年租给马尔代夫，租赁协议已经到期，马尔代夫已向新德里表示不愿保留这两架直升机。

After several rounds of talks, there has been indication from Maldives about its willingness to keep the two helicopters along with the crew and support staff, the sources said.

消息人士称，经过几轮谈判，马尔代夫表示愿意保留两架直升机以及机组人员和后勤人员。

They said the preliminary outcome of the talks between the two countries on the issue has been positive and there was a possibility of the choppers being kept there for a longer duration.

他们说，两国在这个问题上的会谈的初步结果是积极的，有可能把直升机留在那里更长时间。

"The helicopters and the support staff are not being brought back," a highly-placed source said.

一位高层消息人士表示:“直升机和后勤人员没有被召回。”

The lease agrement of one helicopter operated by the Coast Guard had expired earlier this year, while the pact for the second chopper operated by the Indian Navy expired on June 30. One chopper is deployed in the Indian Ocean nation's southern-most island of Addu and the other in the strategically-located Lammu.

海岸警卫队一架直升机的租约已于今年早些时候到期，而印度海军第二架直升机的租约于6月30日到期。一架直升机部署在印度洋国家最南端的阿都岛，另一架部署在战略位置上的拉姆姆岛。

As relations between the two countries nosedived after India opposed the imposition of Emergency in that country, the Maldivian government indicated that it would not renew the lease agreement for kee the two choppers along with the support staff.

在印度反对该国实行紧急状态后，两国关系急剧恶化，马尔代夫政府表示，它不会延长两架直升机和后勤人员的租约。

The sources said the Maldives is extending visas of the Indian team comprising personnel from the Indian Navy, Coast Guard and support staff from Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), the manufacturer of the choppers.

消息人士称，马尔代夫正在延长这支由印度海军、海岸警卫队人员和直升机制造商印度斯坦航空公司支持人员组成的印度代表团的签证。

The development comes less than a month before the presidential election in Maldives and it is seen as an indication of slight easing of ties between the two countries.

目前距离马尔代夫总统大选还有不到一个月的时间，这被视为两国关系略有缓和的迹象。

The strategically-located Indian Ocean island nation is an important neighbour for India and both countries were enhancing defence and security cooperation, particularly in the maritime sphere, in the last several years.

这个地处战略位置的印度洋岛国是印度的重要邻国，两国在过去几年加强了防务和安全合作，特别是在海洋领域。

However, the ties came under strain after Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen declared Emergency in the country on February 5, following an order by the country's Supreme Court to release a group of Opposition leaders, who had been convicted in widely criticised trials. The Emergency was lifted 45 days later.

然而，在马尔代夫总统阿卜杜拉•亚明 2月5日宣布该国进入紧急状态后，两国关系陷入紧张。此前，该国最高法院下令释放一群罪行滔天的反对派领导人。45天后，紧急状态被解除。

India had criticised the Yameen government for imposition of the Emergency and urged it to restore the credibility of the electoral and political processes by releasing political prisoners.

印度批评亚明政府实施紧急状态，并敦促它通过释放政治犯来恢复选举和政治进程的信誉。

The presidential election is due in that country on September 23.

总统选举定于9月23日在该国举行。

Last month, India expressed concern over announcement of the elections without allowing de ocratic institutions, including Parliament and the judiciary, to work in a free and transparent manner.

上个月，印度对宣布举行选举而不允许包括议会和司法机构在内的民*机构以自由和透明的方式工作表示关注。

However, despite strain in ties, both sides were in touch with each other on the issue of Indian choppers stationed there.

然而，尽管两国关系紧张，但双方在印度直升机驻扎问题上保持着沟通。

There have been considerable disquiet in New Delhi over 's growing influence over Male. Maldives had inked a free trade agreement with in December last year, triggering concerns in New Delhi.

对马累的影响力越来越大，新德里对此感到相当不安。去年12月，马尔代夫与签署了一项自由贸易协定，引发了新德里方面的担忧。

India has a lesson to learn from ! 1. Offer a deal that is too good to be true. 2. Buy the politicians in power. 3. Make them sign on dotted lines. The deal would be done in such a short time. India has been pum soft loans and grants to countries like Maldives for decades and now beg for their mercy to station two choppers. India should invest in our Lakshadweep islands instead of wasting our tax money in Maldives when is sniffing for Indian smell everywhere in the island.

印度要向学习! 1. 提出好得难以拒绝的条件。2.收买当权者。3. 让他们在虚线上签名。这笔交易将会在很短的时间内完成。几十年来，印度一直向马尔代夫这样的国家提供软贷款和赠款，现在却乞求他们给我们仁慈，让我们派驻两架直升机。印度应该投资我们的拉克沙德维德群岛，而不是在马尔代夫浪费我们的税款，因为在马尔代夫到处追踪印度的印迹。

Our leaders doesn''t have the vision nor patriotism to lead the country forward. They are more interested to retain power and enrich themselves. Look at our MP''s, how many of them are well educated?

印度的外交政策是扭曲的。不能应付目前的挑战。它无法利用斯里兰卡、巴基斯坦、不丹等国。可以肯定的是，印度无法与匹敌。与印度相比，过于强大和稳定。我们的领导人没有远见和爱国精神来领导国家前进。

他们更感兴趣的是保留权力和充实自己。看看我们的议员，他们中有多少人受过良好教育?
