Read more on - Polity | Economy | Schemes | S&T | Environment


  1. IOR and India: Just a few days after hosting the Indian Ocean Region Defence Ministers meet in Bangalore, India's External affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar will undertake visits to Maldives and Mauritius as part of India’s sustained outreach in the Indian Ocean Region notwithstanding pandemic. While Maldives has emerged as a close neighbour in South Asia, Mauritius is an old strategic partner. 
  2. Agenda: During his visit to the Maldives, Jaishankar will call-on President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and have substantive discussions with the Ministers for Foreign Affairs, Defence, Finance, Economic Development and Planning & Infrastructure. During his visit to Mauritius, the Minister call on President Pritivirajsing Roopun and Prime Minister Pravind Jagnauth. 
  3. Partners: Both Maldives and Mauritius are India’s key maritime neighbors in the Indian Ocean Region and occupy a special place in Prime Minister’s vision of ‘SAGAR’ (Security and Growth for All in the Region). The last visit of an Indian Foreign Minister to Mauritius was in August 2018 when then Minister Sushma Swaraj visited Mauritius for the 11th World Hindi Conference.
  4. Mauritius case: India is the largest development cooperation partner of Mauritius with focus on people oriented projects. A Special economic package of $353 mn was extended to Mauritius in 2016 as grant assistance for five key infra-projects including the Metro Express project, Social Housing project, Supreme Court Building, ENT Hospital and the E-Tablet project. A GoI supported Line of Credit of USD 500 mn has also been extended to Mauritius in 2017 for various infrastructure projects.
  5. Infrastructure projects: In July 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister of Mauritius, Mr Pravind Jugnauth jointly e-inaugurated the new Supreme Court building in Mauritius built with India grant assistance. In October 2019, both Prime Ministers had jointly inaugurated the Phase 1 of the landmark Metro Express project. This is the largest infrastructure project being executed by India in Mauritius. Since its inauguration, metro ridership has already crossed more than 3.1 million in last one year (population is only 1.3 million).
  6. Defence: India is a partner of preference for Mauritius in meeting its defence requirements and a regular supplier of defence equipment, vessels, aircraft etc. to Mauritius. Mauritius was amongst the largest beneficiaries of India’s Covid related assistance. Under the Mission SAGAR, India supplied 13 tonnes of essential medicines, 5 lakh HCQ tablets and 10 tonnes of Ayurvedic medicines to Mauritius in April-May 2020. A special Medical Assistance Team was also sent to Mauritius to supplement local government’s efforts against Covid-19 pandemic. 
  7. Oil crisis: In August 2020, as a response to the request of the Government of Mauritius (GoM) for assistance in dealing with the environmental crisis due to oil spill on its south-east Coast, Government of India provided over 30 tonnes of technical equipment and material on board an IAF Aircraft to Mauritius to supplement its ongoing oil spill containment and salvage operations following the grounding of bulk carrier MV Wakashio. A Technical Response Team, consisting of Indian Coast Guard (ICG) personnel specially trained for dealing with oil spill containment measures, was also deployed to Mauritius.
  8. Covid response: Under the India’s VaccineMaitri, Mauritius also received 1,00,000 doses of the Covishield vaccine from India on January 22. The PM of Mauritius was personally present at the airport along with his Cabinet Ministers to receive the vaccines. Mass vaccination commenced on 26 January in Mauritius as a symbolic move coinciding with India’s 72nd Republic Day.
  9. Policy: ‘India First’ has been the underlying foreign policy approach of the Government of Maldives. President Solih, ever since he assumed office in November 2018, has taken concerted initiatives on this front. This has been in congruence with India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy. India supported the implementation of Greater Male Connectivity Project, the largest civilian infrastructure project in Maldives, connecting Male with three neighbouring islands.
