Mauritius between India, China and the world

Résumé

(PDF - 32 pages) Mauritius is a small island-state that punches above its weight. Officially promoting non-alignment, it has developed a very pragmatic foreign policy which, while keeping close relations with the West and India, is open to cooperation with everyone, including China. Active in several regional organisations, having developed an international platform in financial and business services, Mauritius has become a gateway for investment in Africa. Its security concerns are limited, and it has a privileged security partnership with India. In that context, to enhance its influence in this country, China has focused on economic and cultural cooperation, avoiding challenging India’s position heads on. Nonetheless, its presence is more and more visible, leading both Mauritius and India to react. Other stakeholders as Japan, the European Union, France and the United States are also playing an active role, helping Mauritius strengthen its agency in this new great power game.
