Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Mauritius on March 11-12, 2025 to attend the National Day celebrations as chief guest. He last visited Mauritius in 2015.
“PM Modi will be in Mauritius on the 11th and 12th, 2025, to attend the National Day celebrations of Mauritius, which falls on the 12th of March as the chief guest,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at the weekly media briefing on Friday (March 7, 2025).
MEA Spokesperson Jaiswal said that a contingent of the Indian Defence Forces and a ship from the Indian Navy will participate in the celebrations.
During the visit, Prime Minister Modi will call on the President of Mauritius, meet the Prime Minister, and hold meetings with senior dignitaries and leaders of political parties in Mauritius. Prime Minister Modi will also interact with the members of the Indian-origin community, and inaugurate the Civil Service College and the Area Health Centre, both built with India’s grant assistance.
A number of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) will be exchanged during the visit, the MEA said.
India and Mauritius share a close and special relationship rooted in shared historical, cultural and people to people ties. Further, Mauritius forms an important part of India’s Vision SAGAR (Security and growth for All in the Region).
“The visit will reaffirm the strong and enduring bond between India and Mauritius and reinforce the shared commitment of both countries to enhance the bilateral relationship across all sectors,” the MEA said.
