Mauritius Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam will undertake a state visit to India from September 9 to 16.

This will be the first overseas bilateral visit of Prime Minister Dr. Ramgoolam to India in his present term. Dr. Ramgoolam had earlier visited India in May 2014, as the only non-SAARC leader invited to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers.

During his visit to India, Prime Minister Ramgoolam will call on President Droupadi Murmu and hold discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to further the 'Enhanced Strategic Partnership'.

A MEA release said that Dr Ramgoolam will also visit Mumbai, Varanasi, Ayodhya and Tirupati. In Mumbai, he would be attending a business event.

The release said India and Mauritius share a close and special relationship rooted in shared historical, cultural and people to people ties.

"As India's key maritime neighbor in the Indian Ocean Region, Mauritius holds a special place in India's Vision MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Region) and the 'Neighbourhood First Policy' and is a key partner in the Global South,' the release said.

"The visit of Prime Minister Dr. Ramgoolam to India, following the visit of the Prime Minister to Mauritius in March 2025, will advance the strong and enduring bonds between India and Mauritius," it added.

The cultural and people-to-people ties mentioned in the article are so true! Many Mauritians have Indian ancestry and maintain strong connections. This visit will surely strengthen those bonds.
