What happened?
On 16 September 2025, Prime Minister of Mauritius Navinchandra Ramgoolam met Vice President CP Radhakrishnan at the VP enclave in New Delhi. The discussions focused on strengthening trade, economic, and people-to-people ties between India and Mauritius. Earlier, Union Minister JP Nadda also met PM Ramgoolam in Delhi to highlight the enduring cultural and civilisational bonds between the two countries.
