Maritime Transport: Alan Ganoo wants to create a shipping line between India, Mauritius and Africa

2 years ago - April 14, 2023

Connecting India, Mauritius and East Africa by a maritime line, such is the vision of Alan Ganoo, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Announcement made at the Annual General Meeting of the Mauritius Export Association (MEXA) regarding the new role he will soon assume as President of the Indian Ocean Commission, this Thursday, April 13.

The reason is that Mauritian exporters are facing high transport costs with Africa despite duty free concessions as Mauritius is currently penetrating into the trading markets of African countries. This is due to the high cost of living, explained Alan Ganoo.

Le ministre Ganoo a indiqué que le Japon a donné 800 millions de dollars à la Commission de l’Océan Indien pour la réalisation de ce projet de ligne maritime. Il s’agit d’une priorité pour l’océan Indien, a-t-il insisté.
