Mauritius and Bruxelles to reinforce collaboration

Mauritius and Bruxelles will further reinforce collaboration at the level of the Parliament in view of establishing a better relation between the parliamentarians of both countries.

This was at the fore of discussions during a courtesy call by the President of Parliament of the Fédération Wallonie in Bruxelles, Mr Philippe Courard, on the Prime Minister, Sir Anerood Jugnauth, this week at the New Treasury Building in Port Louis. In a statement, Mr Philippe Courard expressed satisfaction regarding his meeting with the Prime Minister. He underlined that both parties agreed on strengthening further the relationship between the Mauritian Parliament and that of the Wallonie, Bruxelles, as both countries are also part of the International Organisation of La Francophonie. Other topics raised pertained to the provision of health care services in Mauritius which is referred to as a model in this sector in Africa; the Brexit issue; the exchange programmes with regards to the education sector; democracy and the forthcoming Summit of La Francophonie to be held in Madagascar in November this year.
