Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Mauritius on Tuesday for a two-day State Visit, where he will participate in the country’s national day celebrations as the chief guest and hold talks with top leaders.
At the invitation of his Mauritius counterpart, Navin Ramgoolam, Modi’s visit will see the signing of multiple agreements aimed at strengthening cooperation in capacity building, trade, and efforts to combat cross-border financial crimes.
Ahead of his departure, Modi on Monday expressed confidence that the visit would mark a “new and bright” chapter in India-Mauritius relations.
Modi will call on the president of Mauritius, meet the prime minister, and hold meetings with senior dignitaries and leaders of political parties in the island nation.
During his visit, Prime Minister Modi will also engage with members of the Indian community and inaugurate two key projects, the civil service college and an area health centre, both built with India’s grant assistance.
