On Bharat-Mauritius relations, he said, “I think the relationship is super special. And in recent years, I think the relationship has taken another level.”
“I think it more strategic than ever before and especially under the leadership of our two Prime Ministers, the relationship has become, I think the strategic level is the expression to be used,” the foreign minister added.
Bharat has close, longstanding relations with Mauritius, an island nation in the Western Indian Ocean, owing to historical, demographic, and cultural reasons.
