India is close to finalizing an energy supply agreement with Mauritius to enhance energy security amid the crisis in West Asia. The agreement, revealed by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, aims to strengthen bilateral ties and environmental cooperation, marking significant progress in Indo-Mauritian relations.

India is on the verge of sealing a pivotal agreement with Mauritius to supply oil and gas, a move aimed at fortifying energy security as the global market reels from the West Asia conflict, according to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

Jaishankar announced the development during his visit to Mauritius for the 9th Indian Ocean Conference, emphasizing the importance of strategic partnerships amidst surging global oil prices due to disruptions in West Asia.

Beyond energy, the collaboration extends to renewable initiatives, including a floating solar power project, enhancing the India-Mauritius dynamic while supporting sustainability goals.
