How Mauritius is seducing US investors

U.S. investors are currently eyeing Mauritius with a fresh outlook and as a potential financial services hub for routing their investments into Africa. However, the country needs to work on more than just its bilateral relations in order to emerge as a preferred destination of choice for U.S. investments.

The bilateral and commercial relationships between Mauritius and the United States seem poised for success with U.S. President Barack Obama’s recent declaration on Mauritius being viewed as a valued partner of the United States.

“Both countries have many shared goals, including advancing human rights and improving the lives of our countries' citizens though free trade,” expressed Barack Obama as a remark to the newly appointed ambassador of the Republic of Mauritius, Sooroojdev Phokeer, during the presentation of his letter of credence at the White House in Washington earlier this month.

Mauritius is in the process of setting up a strategic plan to boost and diversify its exports to the United States.
