He will visit India from September 9 to September 16.

"This will be the first overseas bilateral visit of Prime Minister Dr. Ramgoolam to India in his present term. Dr. Ramgoolam had earlier visited India in May 2014, as the only non-SAARC leader invited to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

He will also call on Indian President Droupadi Murmu.

Prime Minister Dr. Ramgoolam will also visit Mumbai, Varanasi, Ayodhya and Tirupati.

In Mumbai, he would be attending a business event.

India and Mauritius share a close and special relationship rooted in shared historical, cultural and people-to-people ties.

As India's key maritime neighbour in the Indian Ocean Region, Mauritius holds a special place in India's Vision MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Region) and the ‘Neighbourhood First Policy’ and is a key partner in the Global South.

The visit of Prime Minister Dr. Ramgoolam to India, following the visit of the Prime Minister to Mauritius in March 2025, will advance the strong and enduring bonds between India and Mauritius.
