Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Mauritius on March 11-12 as the guest of honour for the island nation’s 57th National Day celebrations, as announced by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday.
“PM Modi will attend the National Day festivities on March 12, serving as the Chief Guest. A contingent from the Indian defense forces, along with a ship from the Indian Navy, will also participate in the celebrations. This will mark the Prime Minister’s first visit to Mauritius since 2015. During his trip, he plans to meet with the President and Prime Minister of Mauritius, as well as hold discussions with several key dignitaries and senior leaders,” stated MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal during a weekly media briefing in New Delhi.

Last month, Mauritius Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam announced Modi’s upcoming visit to the country’s parliament.
“In light of the 57th anniversary of our nation’s independence, I am pleased to inform the House that, following my invitation, His Excellency, Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, has graciously accepted to be the Guest of Honour for our National Day celebrations,” Ramgoolam stated during his speech.
“It is indeed a great honor for our nation to welcome such a distinguished figure, especially considering his busy schedule and recent travels to Paris and the United States. His visit is a testament to the strong ties between our two countries,” added the Prime Minister of Mauritius.

PM Modi has emphasized New Delhi’s steadfast commitment to its special and enduring partnership with Mauritius, describing the relationship as “unique.”

In July 2024, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar visited Mauritius—a key nation on his travel agenda—where he engaged in extensive talks with both then Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth and Ramgoolam. The discussions focused on various aspects of bilateral relations, such as development partnerships, defense and maritime cooperation, economic and trade ties, and people-to-people connections.

During Jaishankar’s visit, he and the Mauritian Prime Minister inaugurated several High Impact Community Development Projects, exchanged memoranda of understanding (MoUs), and presented the first Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cards to two seventh-generation Indian-origin Mauritians. A total of 12 community development projects covering infrastructure, education, healthcare, public amenities, and sports were virtually inaugurated during his trip. Jaishankar also reaffirmed India’s ongoing support for Mauritius in its pursuit of progress and prosperity.
