Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that his two-day trip to Mauritius will mark the beginning of a “new and bright” chapter in bilateral relations.
Modi will visit the island nation on March 11 and 12.
“Mauritius is a close maritime neighbour, a key partner in the Indian Ocean, and a gateway to the African Continent. We are connected by history, geography and culture,” Modi said in his departure statement.
“Deep mutual trust, a shared belief in the values of democracy, and celebration of our diversity are our strengths,” he said.
The prime minister said the close and historical people-to-people connect between the two sides is a source of shared pride. “We have made significant strides in the past 10 years with people centric initiatives.” “I am confident that this visit will build on the foundations of the past and open a new and bright chapter in the India and Mauritius relationship,” he added.
