“On our last meeting when I was still in office as Minister in Seychelles, I felt privileged and indeed honored to be invited for a meeting at the Office of the Prime Minister of Mauritius Port Louis for a one-to-one meeting that gave the opportunity to Prime Minister Anerood Jugnauth and myself to discuss the close ties of friendship existing between the Republic of Mauritius and the Republic of Seychelles.

“We discussed tourism as this was the meeting that had brought me to Mauritius, and we discussed the Indian Ocean Vanilla Islands Regional Organization which had at that time the Mauritius Deputy Prime Minister Duval at its head. We also touched on cruise ship business for the Indian Ocean among many other points. The meeting was friendly and really appreciated,” said Alain St. Ange.

Sir Anerood Jugnauth served as the Prime Minister of Mauritius from 1982 to 1995 and again from 2000 to 2003. He was then elected President of Mauritius serving from 2003 to 2012. In 2014, he was appointed to serve his sixth term as Prime Minister. He is the longest serving PM with more than 18 years of tenure.
