Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri Tuesday called on Mauritius Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam and the two sides committed to strengthening the strategic partnership in line with the evolving priorities of the new government.
Misri, who arrived in Mauritius on an official visit, also discussed the Vision MAHASAGAR as a blueprint for deeper regional cooperation with him.
“During their meeting, they reaffirmed the deep-rooted and special ties between India and Mauritius, and committed to strengthening the strategic partnership in line with the evolving priorities of the new government,” the High Commission of India in Mauritius said in a post on X.
“Discussions also covered Vision MAHASAGAR as a blueprint for deeper regional cooperation, India’s resolve to further enhance its development partnership, and preparations for PM Ramgoolam’s forthcoming visit to India,” it added.
In his meeting, Misri reiterated the invitation of Prime Minister Modi to PM Ramgoolam to visit India, the External Affairs Ministry said in a press release.
“Both sides held discussions on the entire range of bilateral cooperation. Foreign Secretary sought guidance to further strengthen the special and close ties and conveyed India’s continued commitment to the development, progress and prosperity of Mauritius,” it said.
Misri also called on Dhananjay Ramful, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade of Mauritius.
As part of the commitment to work together to address challenges faced by Mauritius on account of increase in drug-addiction and related social issues, Misri handed over specialised anti-drug equipment to Ramful, the press release said.
“Discussions covered ongoing and planned activities under – Joint Vision for an Enhanced Strategic Partnership and other areas of mutual interest,” the Indian mission said in another post.
This was Misri’s second visit to Mauritius as Foreign Secretary, the release said.
The visit followed the telephone conversation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Mauritian counterpart Navinchandra Ramgoolam on June 24, during which the two leaders discussed the ongoing cooperation across a broad range of areas and reaffirmed their shared commitment to further strengthen the enhanced strategic partnership between India and Mauritius, it said.
During the visit, the Foreign Secretary also called on President Dharambeer Gokhool, Deputy Prime Minister Paul Berenger and met key Mauritian leaders and officials, the release said.
Misri’s visit highlights the regular high-level engagement between India and Mauritius and the importance India attaches to Mauritius as a key partner in its Neighbourhood First, Vision Sagar and MAHASAGAR, Africa Forward policies, and its commitment to the Global South.
