Prime Minister Modi shared the details on social media platform X, expressing delight at receiving the call from his friend, Dr. Ramgoolam. They reviewed the progress in comprehensive cooperation since their memorable meeting in Varanasi last year. Both reaffirmed their commitment to bolstering the unique, historic, and people-centric relations linking India and Mauritius.
The discussion highlighted shared goals for peace and stability in the Indian Ocean region, with both leaders pledging continued collaboration. Modi eagerly anticipates hosting Ramgoolam next week for the AI Impact Summit in India.
