Why Mauritius Matters to India | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

India is deepening ties with Mauritius, announcing $680 million in new projects during Prime Minister Modi’s meeting with Mauritian Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam in Varanasi. The partnership is rooted in strategy, economics, and culture. Mauritius lies along vital Indian Ocean shipping lanes, making it key for India’s security footprint. India has already built facilities in Agalega and now offers support for Chagos surveillance. Economically, Mauritius serves as India’s bridge to Africa, with new investments in hospitals, infrastructure, and transport. Culturally, 70% of Mauritians trace their roots to India. Together, the two nations are shaping the Indian Ocean’s future balance.
