NEW YORK - The Commonwealth of The Bahamas and the Republic of Mauritius formalized diplomatic relations by way of the execution of a Joint Communique on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, during a signing ceremony at the Permanent Mission of The Bahamas to the United Nations, 231 East 46th Street.
The Joint Communique was signed by His Excellency Dr. Elliston Rahming, Bahamas Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations and the Organization of American States (OAS), on behalf of the Government of The Bahamas, and His Excellency Mr. Jagdish Dharamchand Koonjul, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Mauritius to the United Nations on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Mauritius.
The Republic of Mauritius is an island located in the Indian Ocean adjacent to the south eastern coast of the African continent. It has an estimated population of more than 1.29 million people and a stable middle-income economy that profits mainly from sugar, tourism, textiles and appeal and financial services.
Like The Bahamas, Mauritius is a Commonwealth, small island developing state with a proportionately significant service industry. The Bahamas continues to work closely with Mauritius in the multilateral context on areas of mutual import, including sustainable development, climate change initiatives and the economic and financial development of similar economies. Through the signing of the Joint Communique both countries have agreed to promote and strengthen bilateral ties in these and other areas of cooperation.
