The Statesman Siliguri

September 12, 2025

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that India remains fully committed to strengthening the security of Mauritius's Exclusive Economic Zone as India announced a Special Economic Package for Mauritius worth nearly USD 680 million (MUR 30 billion) across health, infrastructure, and maritime security sectors.

- NIKHIL VYAS Varanasi, 11 September

"Today, we have announced a Special Economic Package designed to support Mauritius' needs and priorities. This will strengthen infrastructure, create new employment opportunities, and further enhance healthcare facilities," PM Modi said while making a joint press statement after his delegation-level talks with visiting Mauritian Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam in Varanasi.

"This package is not an assistance. It is an investment in our shared future," PM Modi asserted.

Calling Mauritius as a key part of India's Neighbourhood First policy, PM Modi said a free, open, secure, stable, and prosperous Indian Ocean is a shared priority of both the nations.
