Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will pay an official visit to Mauritius from December 20-22, 2024, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday (December 19, 2024).
The visit marks the first high-level bilateral engagement between India and Mauritius after the formation of the new government in Mauritius led by Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam.
“The visit is a continuation of the regular high level exchanges between the two countries and reflects the priority India attaches to its relation with Mauritius under its Vision SAGAR, Africa Forward policy and commitment to Global South,” the MEA stated.
India and Mauritius share age-old ties rooted in shared history, culture and tradition and encompasses cooperation across several sectors. According to the MEA, the visit will be an opportunity to further advance India's bilateral ties with Mauritius.
The Indian Foreign Secretary's visit is part of regular high-level exchanges between the two countries.
Earlier this year, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was on a two-day official visit to Mauritius on July 16-17, 2024. During this visit, he inaugurated India's first overseas Jan Aushadhi Kendra along with then Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth. EAM Jaishankar also inaugurated the India-assisted Mediclinic project which will provide secondary healthcare to 16,000 people in the Grand Bois area. Twelve High Impact Community Development Projects (HICDPs) implemented in Mauritius with Indian assistance were also inaugurated virtually.
Prime Minister Jugnauth was in New Delhi in June this year to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony while Indian President Droupadi Murmu visited Mauritius in March 2024 to attend the country's National Day celebrations.
The India-Mauritius development partnership is symbolized by flagship projects like the Metro Express, the ENT Hospital, social housing projects, and the Supreme Court building.
In February this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Jugnauth jointly inaugurated a new airstrip and jetty in addition to several community development projects in the Indian Ocean nation’s Agalega Island. The India-assisted Agalega Airstrip, Saint James Jetty, and six community development projects were inaugurated by the two leaders via video conferencing on February 29, 2024.
