Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken recently engaged in a conversation with Mauritian Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth. The discussion centered on the robust U.S.-Mauritius partnership and their mutual aim to enhance security and prosperity for both nations and the broader region.

A key topic during the call was the ongoing formal discussions between the United Kingdom and Mauritius regarding the status of Diego Garcia and its surrounding territory. This area includes a joint U.S.-UK military facility that is significant for Indo-Pacific and global security.

"Secretary Blinken expressed strong support for the progress made in the ongoing UK-Mauritius negotiations," stated Spokesperson Matthew Miller, "and highlighted continued close collaboration with Mauritius on a wide range of bilateral, regional, and multilateral issues."
