In a significant diplomatic move, Ukraine and the island nation of Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean, have officially signed a visa-free agreement aimed at strengthening ties between the two countries. The agreement was finalized during a meeting between Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, and his Mauritian counterpart, Maneesh Gobin, in the Mauritian capital of Port Louis.
The new visa-free regime is expected to facilitate easier travel for Mauritian investors and businesspeople looking to explore opportunities in Ukraine. According to a statement from Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this agreement is a step towards enhancing economic cooperation and fostering new business relationships.
Mauritius, known for its thriving economy and attractive business climate, is also expected to benefit from the deal. With the visa restrictions lifted, Ukrainian businesses and investors will find it easier to engage with their Mauritian counterparts, further solidifying bilateral ties.
The agreement also holds promise for the tourism sectors of both countries. Once the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is resolved, the visa-free regime is expected to significantly increase the number of Ukrainian tourists visiting Mauritius, drawn by its pristine beaches and unique cultural experiences.
This move marks another step in Ukraine’s efforts to expand its global partnerships and increase its presence in international markets.
