Addressing the Mauritian Parliament, Mr. Ramgoolam said, “I have great pleasure to inform the House that following my invitation, Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, has kindly agreed to be the Guest of Honour for our National Day celebrations. It is indeed a singular privilege for our country, to host such a distinguished personality who is doing us this honour, despite his very tight schedule and his recent visits to Paris and the United States.”
He added, “He has agreed to be here as our special guest. The visit of Modi is a testimony of the close relations between our two nations.”
The country will celebrate its National Day on March 12.
