PM Modi invites Mauritius PM to India, reaffirms commitment to Neighbourhood First Policy

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Mauritius, Dr. Navinchandra Ramgoolam, on Tuesday, reaffirming the deep-rooted and unique ties between the two nations.

During the conversation, the two leaders reviewed the ongoing cooperation between India and Mauritius across a wide spectrum of areas, including development partnership, capacity building, defence, maritime security, digital infrastructure, and people-to-people relations.

PM Modi appreciated Ramgoolam’s whole-hearted participation in the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations, noting it as a reflection of the shared cultural and spiritual values that bind the two countries.

Reiterating India’s continued support for Mauritius’ development priorities, PM Modi underlined the alignment with Vision MAHASAGAR and India’s Neighbourhood First policy — a framework that places special emphasis on partnerships with neighbouring and Indian Ocean region countries.

PM Modi also extended an invitation to Prime Minister Ramgoolam for an early visit to India. Both leaders agreed to remain in close contact and work together to further deepen the Enhanced Strategic Partnership.
