Mauritius Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam hosted a state dinner on Tuesday in honor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He expressed deep appreciation for PM Modi’s presence at the country’s National Day celebrations.
Welcoming PM Modi, PM Ramgoolam highlighted the significance of his visit, acknowledging the strong bond between India and Mauritius.
“I am immensely proud and honoured, Prime Minister, that you have accepted my invitation to grace our National Day celebrations with your presence despite your very heavy schedule. It is a testimony of your deep feelings for Mauritius,” Mauritius PM stated.
Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam further asserted, “On a personal note, I recall with great pride and a sense of profound gratitude the unique privilege you so kindly honoured me with by inviting me to your first swearing-in ceremony as Prime Minister of India in 2014. I am hopeful that you will invite me for the fourth swearing-in as well.”
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Indian community in Mauritius at the Trianon Convention Centre, sharing his personal connection with the island nation.
Recalling his 1998 visit for the International Ramayan Conference, PM Modi noted, “I came here in 1998 to attend the International Ramayan Conference. I can still experience that faith today, which I experienced years ago.”
“The same emotions were witnessed last year when Lord Ram Lalla’s Pran Pratishtha was organised in Ayodhya. The Mauritius government also announced a half-day holiday. This connection of faith is the base of the friendship between India and Mauritius,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked.
The event saw vibrant participation from the Indian diaspora, including students, professionals, socio-cultural groups, and business leaders.
Several ministers, parliamentarians, and dignitaries from Mauritius were also in attendance.
PM Modi is in Mauritius for a two-day official visit from 11-12 March.
