In a series of high-level discussions with Mauritian Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam, both leaders expressed their commitment to deepening economic, diplomatic, and strategic cooperation.

Strengthening Bilateral Ties

Advancing Economic & Development Cooperation

India has been one of the largest contributors to Mauritius' development and infrastructure projects. Both leaders reviewed ongoing initiatives and agreed on several new projects to enhance the socio-economic landscape of Mauritius.
