NEW DELHI: India signed a free trade and investment agreement with Mauritius on Tuesday, the first with any country in Africa. It was also the first time since 2011 that India was signing a free trade pact with any country.
Announcing this in Port Louis, foreign minister S Jaishankar said the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation and Partnership Agreement (CECPA) “will provide a timely boost for the revival of our post-Covid economies and also enable Indian investors to use Mauritius as a launch-pad for business expansion into continental Africa helping the prospect of Mauritius emerging as a ‘hub of Africa’.” In his first visit there as foreign minister, Jaishankar also handed over another 1,00,000 doses of Covid vaccines to Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth. India had earlier flown over 1,00,000 doses in January.

Motegi was speaking to reporters after a phone call with Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth.
