Mauritius seeks new Chagos deal with UK in shared interests of India

Mauritius is pressing for amendments to its trade agreement, including Double Taxation Avoidance Convention (DTAC) with India, Foreign and Trade Minister Dhananjay Ramful said.

Amendment in DTAC is still under discussion. Two issues, I think, need to be sorted out. From what I've been told, once this is sorted out, then they will sign the protocol, he explained, hinting at unresolved sticking points in the negotiations. The minister announced that a second session of the joint committee will convene soon to revisit both the CECPA and the DTAC, aiming to address trade imbalances and taxation issues.

Ahead of PM Modi's visit, India supports Mauritius on Chagos islands issue

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Mauritius, India on Saturday said it supports the island nation in its efforts to reach a mutually beneficial deal with the UK over Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean. The issue is expected to figure in Modi's talks with Mauritian Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam. Modi is paying a two-day visit to Mauritius on March 11 and 12.

However, the new Mauritius government
