Ahead of the meeting, the Indian Prime Minister laid a wreath at former Mauritian Prime Minister Seewoosagur Ramgoolam’s memorial in the botanical park.

His visit comes only days after US President Donald Trump expressed support for a possible agreement between Mauritius and Britain on the future of the US-British military station in the Chagos Islands.
