India-Mauritius relations have been a low-profile, high-purpose equation, highlighted from time to time by high-level visits from either side. Prime Minister Narendra Modi added an additional dimension by inviting Mauritius counterpart for his inauguration in May 2014 along with SAARC heads of states. He also followed this up with a three-nation, southern Indian Ocean visit which included Mauritius — given the people, trade and strategic equations involved.

This interaction will explore the existing treaty on double taxation avoidance, which was improved upon by the two governments, to fix loopholes that were being exposed and exploited for illegal and unlawful purposes.

Speaker
