Foreign Policy

Mauritius punches well above its weight diplomatically, leveraging the Chagos Archipelago case to build coalitions across the Global South on decolonization and sovereignty issues. The country maintains strong relationships with India (cultural and economic ties to the diaspora, bilateral investment treaty), France (historical and economic connections via Reunion), China (growing economic partner), and the African bloc.

The country positions itself as a gateway for investment into Africa through its financial services sector, which has attracted both legitimate capital flows and scrutiny over tax treaty arrangements. Mauritius actively promotes the blue economy concept and ocean governance, and is a vocal advocate for SIDS issues including climate change, sea-level rise, and sustainable fisheries management.
