Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced on Saturday that Shri Anurag Srivastava, an officer of the Indian Foreign Service (IFS) from the 1999 batch, has been appointed as the next High Commissioner of India to the Republic of Mauritius.
Currently serving as Joint Secretary in the Ministry, Srivastava is expected to assume the role shortly.
The appointment underscores the importance India places on its longstanding ties with Mauritius. Mauritius, a key partner in the Western Indian Ocean region, shares deep historical, cultural, and demographic links with India.
People of Indian origin constitute nearly 70 per cent of Mauritius' 1.2 million population, reflecting the enduring bond between the two nations.
The bilateral relationship between India and Mauritius is rooted in shared history, with Indian workers first arriving in Mauritius under French rule in 1729. During British rule, about half a million Indian indentured labourers were brought to Mauritius between 1834 and the early 1900s, with two-thirds eventually settling on the island.
