Mauritius PM Begins India Visit to Deepen Defence and Trade Partnership

Mauritius Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam arrived in Mumbai, marking the start of an eight-day official visit to India focused on strengthening bilateral ties. Landing at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport via a commercial flight from Port Louis, Ramgoolam was warmly received by Indian officials. His visit underscores the deepening partnership between India and Mauritius, with a focus on enhancing cooperation in critical areas such as defence, trade, and investment.

The Mauritian leader’s itinerary includes a high-profile business event at a luxury hotel in Mumbai on the morning of September 10, where he is expected to engage with industry leaders to explore investment opportunities and foster economic collaboration. Following the event, Ramgoolam will depart for Varanasi by special flight in the afternoon, continuing his diplomatic engagements across India. The visit aims to build on the historic and cultural ties between the two nations, with discussions likely to cover strategic initiatives like maritime security and economic partnerships.

This visit, part of a broader effort to reinforce India’s ties with Indian Ocean nations, highlights Mauritius’ strategic importance as a partner. Ramgoolam’s meetings are expected to pave the way for new agreements, further solidifying the robust bilateral relationship. His arrival has generated significant anticipation for announcements that could enhance trade flows, bolster defence cooperation, and promote mutual investments, setting the stage for a stronger India-Mauritius alliance.
