Mauritius had had a busy period recently with a number of treaties being negotiated and or signed but not yet in place. We highlight some of these here:
- The protocol to the treaty with Barbados has now been signed on the 12 December, 2017;
- Negotiations are ongoing with Zambia with regards to a protocol to the not yet signed treaty;
- The Treaty between the Comores and Mauritius was signed on the 28th November;
- The IPA between Cape Verde and Mauritius has been signed and approved;
- The Treaty between Cape Verde and Mauritius has been signed and approved;
- Negotiations with the Ivory Coast with regards to a treaty have now been concluded;
- Negotiations between St Kits and Nevis and Mauritius are under way;
What is self-evident from all this activity is that Mauritius is continuing to place itself as the gateway to Africa and to conclude the agreements necessary to position itself optimally.
