He said that during this visit, economic, cultural and strategic relations between the two countries will be further strengthened.

Relations Between India and Mauritius

On the occasion of India's Independence Day last month, Mauritius Prime Minister Ramgoolam had congratulated PM Modi and the people of India and said that the relations between Mauritius and India are based on history, culture and shared values. In response to this, Prime Minister Modi described Mauritius as India's "strategic and trusted partner".

It is worth noting that earlier this year, Prime Minister Modi participated in the 57th National Day celebrations of Mauritius and met Prime Minister Ramgoolam and President Dharam Gokhool.
