Narendra Modi, Mauritius PM Pravind Jugnauth to virtually inaugurate new Airstrip and St. James Jetty, other projects tomorrow

| @indiablooms | Feb 28, 2024, at 10:44 pm

Indian PM Narendra Modi and Prime Minister of Mauritius Pravind Jugnauth will jointly inaugurate the new Airstrip and St. James Jetty along with six community development projects at the Agalega Island in Mauritius on February 29 at 1 PM via video conferencing.

The inauguration of these projects is a testimony to the robust and decades-old development partnership between India and Mauritius.

"The projects will fulfil the demand for better connectivity between mainland Mauritius and Agalega, strengthen maritime security and foster socio-economic development," read a government statement.

The inauguration of these projects is significant as it follows the recent launch of UPI and RuPay Card services in Mauritius by the two leaders on 12 February 2024.
