Les membres du gouvernement ont pris connaissance des avancées des négociations entre les gouvernements britannique et mauricien concernant le dossier des Chagos et la base militaire américaine qui s’y trouve sur Diego Garcia.
Cabinet has taken note that since the statement made by the Prime Minister to the National Assembly on 03 November 2022, Mauritius and the UK have held constructive negotiations on 23 and 24 November 2022, 11 and 12 January 2023, and 23 and 24 February 2023 on the exercise of sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago. These discussions have built understanding between the two sides, and covered issues relating to ensuring the continued effective operation of the joint UK/US military base on Diego Garcia; resettlement of the former inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago; strengthening our cooperation on a range of issues such as environmental and marine protection, improving security and tackling illegal activities in the region, amongst others.
Cabinet has also taken note that as agreed at the outset of negotiations, Mauritius and the UK have taken stock of the negotiations and agreed on next steps. The Prime Ministers of Mauritius and the UK spoke on 14 February. They welcomed the progress to date and agreed to continue negotiations with a view to arriving at an agreement in the coming months.
