Indian Navy’s Hydrographic Survey in Mauritius
Context
The Indian Navy’s INS Sarvekshak has successfully completed the final phase of a hydrographic survey of Mauritius, covering more than 25,000 square nautical miles.
Key Details:
- The hydrographic survey and associated activities align with India’s SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) vision.
- The hydrographic survey covered a vast area, contributing to the creation of a new nautical chart for Mauritius.
- This chart will assist Mauritius in better planning and developing its maritime infrastructure, managing resources, and planning coastal development.
Maritime Defence Cooperation:
- Mauritius and India share strong defence cooperation, with Mauritius having an International Liaison Officer at India’s Information Fusion Centre for Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR) in Gurugram.
- India also supports Mauritius with radar surveillance systems and has provided them with Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH) and a Dornier Do-228 aircraft, both built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
- Apart from being a significant partner in the SAGAR Vision, Mauritius is an important part of India’s “Neighborhood First Policy” and Africa Forward Initiative.
- It was the first African nation to sign a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation and Partnership Agreement(CECPA) with India.
