External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday arrived in Mauritius for a two-day official visit. He thanked Mauritius Foreign Minister Maneesh Gobin for his warm welcome and stated that he looked forward to productive engagements to take forward the special relationship between the two nations.
In a post on X, Jaishankar stated, “Namaste Mauritius! Thank Foreign Minister @ManeeshGobin for the warm welcome. Look forward to productive engagements to take forward this special relationship.”
This comes around a month after PM Jugnauth visited India for the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with his new cabinet and Council of Ministers.
The visit marks one of Jaishankar’s first bilateral engagements following his re-appointment in the PM Modi-led government. Previously, Jaishankar visited Mauritius in February 2021.
India and Mauritius enjoy close and longstanding relations, owing to historical, demographic and cultural reasons, according to MEA. A key reason for the special ties is the fact that Indian-origin people comprise nearly 70 per cent of Mauritius’ population of 1.2 million people. (ANI)
