“I wish to recall the stellar contribution of late Anerood Jugnauth (former Mauritius President) to strengthen the India-Mauritius tie. We look forward to supporting the further extension of the metro, under the $190 million Line of Credit (LoC) extension today,” said PM Modi.
“It was in Mauritius, during my 2015 visit, that I had outlined India’s maritime cooperation vision of SAGAR – ‘Security and Growth for All in the Region’. I am glad that our bilateral cooperation, including in maritime security, has translated this vision into action,” added PM Modi.
“In the coming days, we will work on several important projects, such as the regional transplant unit, the forensic science laboratory, the national library & archives, the Mauritius police academy, & many others. India will always continue to stand by Mauritius,” he further added.
