class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From 20 to 21 November 2025, French President Emmanuel Macron was on an official visit to Mauritius as part of his African tour. Actually, the visit was originally scheduled to take place earlier this year, but was postponed as Macron wished to attend the funeral of the Pope at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit was highly symbolic and historic and occurred more than thirty years after that by President Mitterand in 1993 who came to Mauritius to attend the 5th Francophonie Summit. The visit also took place some 310 years after the French first took possession of Mauritius and renamed it <em>Isle de France<\/em> in 1715.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strong_Ties\"><\/span><strong>Strong Ties<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>France is the largest source of <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/fdi\/\">#FDI<\/a> into Mauritius and the largest source market for tourists visiting the paradise island, with more than a third of tourists originating from France, including a sizeable proportion from neighboring Reunion. More than 10,000 French expats live in Mauritius, while some 16,000 Mauritian expats live in France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on 2024 statistics, France is also the 4th largest buyer for Mauritius, behind South Africa, Madagascar, and the United States of America. France is the 5th largest supplier of Mauritius, behind China, UAE, India, and South Africa. Overall, the bilateral trade volume between Mauritius and France was EUR 634 million in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mutual_Recognition\"><\/span><strong>Mutual Recognition<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As per protocol, he met with the President of Mauritius Dharam Gokhool and the Prime Minister of Mauritius Navin Ramgoolam. During his passage at the Presidential Palace of<em> Le Reduit<\/em>, Macron was elevated to Grand Commander of the Star and Key of the Indian Ocean, which is the highest rank of honor in Mauritius. During the same ceremony, President Macron conferred the <em>Grand-Croix of the Legion d&#8217;Honneur<\/em> to Prime Minister Ramgoolam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_French_Embassy\"><\/span><strong>New French Embassy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Inauguration des nouveaux locaux de l\u2019Ambassade de France \u00e0 Maurice.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D-42YKiGIEE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On 21 November 2025, President Macron also officially inaugurated the new French Embassy in Telfair, Moka.

Mauritius aims to achieve at least 60% of renewable energy in its energy mix by 2035, although the initial target was more ambitious. The Electricity Company of France (EDF) will provide technical assistance to the Central Electricity Board (CEB) of Mauritius to enhance the electricity generation and distribution capabilities. AFD will provide EUR 700,000 under FEXTE<em> (Fonds d&#8217;Expertise Technique et d&#8217;Echanges d&#8217;Experiences<\/em>) as technical assistance for capacity building in upgrading the electricity system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that regard, the AFD is also providing a loan of EUR 40 million, while the EU is providing a grant of EUR 10 million to support the greening of the grid. In addition, the AFD is supporting financially the partnership between the State Bank of Mauritius (SBM) and QAir to deploy more <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/pv\/\">#PV<\/a> systems with storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Security\"><\/span><strong>Water Security<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AFD will provide EUR 200 million and a grant of EUR 2 million to ensure sustainable water management in Mauritius. A special consideration is being given to the Outer Island of Rodrigues, which is particularly susceptible to drought. The fund will go toward upgrading the water storage and distribution capacity in order to meet its present and future needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_Security\"><\/span><strong>Food Security<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Macron announced deals for France to supply wheat to Mauritius, where the French baguette is a tradition and an institution. In particular, Soufflet Negoce and InVivo sign a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) to supply Les Moulins de la Concorde with high-quality cereals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the Mauritius Sugar Syndicate (MSS) renewed its SPA with Cristalco agreement for another three years to supply white refined and special sugars to the French market.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"957563\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #957563;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Macron-02W-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-28907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Macron-02W-jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Macron-02W-300x169.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joint Press Declaration by President Macron and PM Ramgoolam<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Francophone_Education\"><\/span><strong>Francophone Education<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister of Education Mahend Gangapersad and the French Ambassador in Mauritius Frederic Bontems signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote the use of the French language in the education system in Mauritius.
