The two-day initiative, running from 08 to 09 April 2026, brings together key stakeholders to explore opportunities in regional trade in services.<\/p><p>The opening ceremony was attended by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, Mr Dhananjay Ramful; Economic Development Board (EDB) Mauritius Chief Executive Officer, Mr Mahen Abhimanu Kundasamy and Director, Industrial Development and Trade at the SADC Secretariat, Mr Dhuraj Kassee.<\/p><p>In his keynote address, Minister Ramful underpinned that the workshop aims to enhance access for women and youth to opportunities in trade in services within the SADC region. He acknowledged the challenges often faced by these entrepreneurs, such as limited access to finance, difficulties in reaching markets, and inadequate information on regional trade systems. The workshop, he explained, would equip participants with practical tools to navigate these systems and seize business opportunities effectively.<\/p><p>The Minister further highlighted the growing importance of trade in services as a driver of economic growth, underlining its significant contribution to Mauritius\u2019 GDP and employment. He noted that digitalisation and e-commerce are transforming service delivery, enabling businesses to expand into international markets more efficiently. \u201cThis workshop provides a timely platform to empower women and youth, strengthen their participation in regional trade and support inclusive and sustainable economic development,\u201d he added.<\/p><p>For his part, Mr Kassee emphasised that trade in services has become a key driver of economic growth, innovation, and regional integration within the SADC region. He pointed out that while women and youth-led enterprises are increasingly contributing to this sector, they continue to face challenges such as limited access to finance, market information and regulatory constraints.<\/p><p>Organised by EDB Mauritius in collaboration with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, the workshop aims to equip youth and women entrepreneurs with practical skills to access and grow within SADC regional markets.<\/p><p>The programme features sessions on the SADC Protocol on Trade in Services, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, digital payments and branding, while also providing a platform for experience-sharing by successful women-led businesses.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

It provided a\nplatform for stakeholders to discuss ways to strengthen the national\nhydrography capacity and improve coordination among institutions engaged in\nmarine data collection and management.<\/p><p>Every\nyear, on 21 June, the International Hydrographic Organization and its Member\nStates celebrate World Hydrography Day, showcasing the vital role hydrography\nplays in improving our understanding of the ocean and supporting its safe,\nsustainable and productive use. The theme for World Hydrography Day 2026 is Transforming\nHow Ocean Data Is Shared.<\/p><p>Participants reviewed ongoing efforts to further structure and modernise\nhydrographic functions in Mauritius in line with international best practices. A\nkey focus of the discussions was the ongoing initiative to establish a full-fledged\nnational hydrographic office. The proposed framework aims to consolidate\nexisting expertise, enhance inter-institutional coordination and reinforce the\ncountry\u2019s technical capabilities in hydrographic surveying and data management.\nA draft proposal has already been circulated to relevant stakeholders for\nconsultation, with input being sought to refine and finalise the institutional\narrangements.<\/p><p>The key role of hydrography in ensuring safe navigation, supporting\nsustainable ocean management and enabling informed decision-making in maritime\ndevelopment was also on the agenda. <\/p><p>Speaking during the opening ceremony, the Senior Chief Executive of the\nMinistry of Housing and Lands, Mr Mohummad Shamad Ayoob Saab\nhighlighted the need for enhanced collaboration among all stakeholders and\ndepartments involved in hydrographic work. He pointed out that sustained\ncooperation is essential to ensure coherence in policy decisions and their implementation,\nas well as to support the successful development of the national hydrographic\ncapacity.<\/p><p>Mr Ayoob Saab further underlined that Mauritius is well positioned to\nstrengthen its role in the southern Indian Ocean region through better\ntechnical capacity and improved institutional coordination. He also recalled\nprevious regional engagements and the importance of continued collective effort\nin advancing shared maritime objectives.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify;

and\nResearch, Dr Kaviraj Sharma Sukon, to abstain from substance use and to raise awareness\namong their peers and community to foster a safe drug-free environment on their\ncampus.<br><\/p><p>The Minister made\nthis intervention during the launching of a half-day workshop focusing on the\ntheme, \u2018Addressing Drug Use through Public and Social Equity: Youths and\nCommunities at the Center\u2019 this morning at the University of Mauritius\n(UoM), in R\u00e9duit. <\/p><p>The initiative\nwas held in context of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit\nTrafficking 2026 being marked under the theme \u2018The World Drug Problem:\nPersisting Issues, New Challenges, Innovative Responses\u2019. <\/p><p>The National Agency\nfor Drug Control (NADC) in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and\nHealth Sciences of the university, regrouped a multidisciplinary panel discussion with\nexperts from the Agency, academia, and civil society organisations to examine\nissues such as addiction, trauma, social equity, stigma, HIV\/AIDS, community-based\nprevention, harm reduction, and evidence-based treatment approaches for\nsubstance use. <\/p><p>In his keynote\naddress, Dr Sukon underscored the Government's priority in combating drug\nabuse so that no child is left trapped by addiction. This unwavering commitment\nis clearly demonstrated in the 2026\u201327 Budget, which channels substantial\nfinancial resources into the national anti-drug initiative, he recalled. <\/p><p>He highlighted the commitment of different Ministries to partake in this mission\nfor the nation's welfare, stressing the urgent need for collaboration across the\nacademia. He noted with concern that the 2024 National Drug Observatory Report\nshowed that three-quarters of the 1,081 public hospital admissions were young\npeople aged 18 to 35.<\/p><p>\u201cAddressing\nthis urgent issue requires a multidisciplinary approach. We need every academic\ndiscipline involved to protect our students on all higher education campuses,\u201d stated\nthe Minister. Additionally, he called on the NADC and the UoM to conduct\ncampus-specific drug research to enable targeted actions.<\/p><p>Speaking about\nthe theme of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking\n2026, the Chairperson of the NADC, Ms Nadia Peerun, said that it prompts us to critically\nreflect on our national response to address new and persisting challenges and act\nwith innovative responses. She underpinned prevention as a first line of\ndefence, stressing the need to equip young people with knowledge, resilience\nand skills to help them make informed decisions, thereby reducing future harm\nand strengthening the society.<\/p><p>As regards\ntackling addiction, the Chairperson of the NADC stated that it should be viewed\nbeyond a criminal justice lens, requiring instead a more comprehensive understanding\nto design more effective and humane responses. <\/p><p>The Dean of the\nFaculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Professor (Dr) M F Mahomoodally, qualified\nthe initiative as an excellent platform to learn and undertake meaningful\ndialogue on tackling one of the most pressing public health and social challenges\nof current times. <\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Drugs<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Renewal of Registration - Contractor<\/h1><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/NewsBanner?id=1349' alt='Banner Image' class='img-fluid mb-3'><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Notices<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Renewal of Registration - Consultant<\/h1><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/NewsBanner?id=1350' alt='Banner Image' class='img-fluid mb-3'><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Notices<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Highlights of Cabinet Meeting - Friday 26.06.26<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Cabinet Decisions<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>SUMMING UP SPEECH THE APPROPRIATION (2026-2027) BILL (NO.

These include holding a passport that remains valid\nbeyond the intended period of stay, possessing a valid return ticket, being\neligible to re-enter the country of origin or residence, demonstrating\nsufficient financial means to support the stay, having confirmed accommodation\nor sponsorship, refraining from engaging in any gainful employment, and not\nbeing classified as a prohibited immigrant.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister stressed that any non-citizen who fails to meet any of these\nrequirements is not admitted into Mauritius, irrespective of nationality.<\/p><p>Highlighting\nthe country\u2019s openness to international visitors, the Prime Minister noted that\nMauritius has been ranked 10th out of 199 countries in the 2026\nHenley Openness Index, which measures the number of nationalities a country\npermits to enter without obtaining a visa beforehand.<\/p><p>He\npointed out that while the majority of foreign nationals receive a visa on\narrival, nationals of 15 countries are required to obtain a visa before\ntravelling to Mauritius, in accordance with Section 12 of the Passports Act and\nthe Eleventh Schedule of the Passport Regulations.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister further indicated that the inclusion of countries on the\nprescribed list is determined after careful assessment of several factors,\nincluding national security considerations, international relations,\nimmigration policy and the risk of visa abuse.<\/p><p>According\nto guidelines issued by the Passport and Immigration Office, nationals of these\ncountries are required to submit their visa applications at least one month\nbefore their intended travel date. Where all required documentation is in\norder, visa applications are generally processed within approximately 12\nworking days.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister emphasised that nationals of the prescribed countries remain\nwelcome to visit Mauritius and are not charged any visa fee. He added that, in\naddition to the standard immigration requirements, the Passport and Immigration\nOffice conducts enhanced security checks before granting entry clearance.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister additionally highlighted that the Budget 2026\u20132027 makes\nprovision for the introduction of a new digital e-visa system. The platform\nwill enable non-citizens from all countries to apply for and obtain an\nelectronic visa prior to travelling to Mauritius.

The Institute is currently\nextending its research to marine crustaceans. The genetic information gathered\nhas been compiled into the MOI\u2019s online Marine Diversity and Genetics Databank,\ncreating a comprehensive national reference library that supports species\nidentification, fisheries management, biodiversity conservation, seafood\ntraceability, and the sustainable use of marine resources.<\/p><p>According to the\nDirector of the MOI, Dr Daniel Marie, the DNA-barcoding initiative has considerably\nstrengthened the country's capacity to accurately identify marine species and\nhas enhanced evidence-based management of marine living resources. <\/p><p>\u201cThe initiative\nhas also generated critical baseline data on marine biodiversity within\nMauritius\u2019 EEZ, contributing to the protection of vulnerable species, the\npromotion of sustainable fisheries, and the alignment of economic development\nwith biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>Building on the\nexpertise and infrastructure developed through the DNA-barcoding programme, the\nMOI is now integrating environmental DNA (eDNA) methodologies into its marine\nbiodiversity assessment activities, particularly under the Marine Resources\nMapping Project.<\/p><p>Environmental DNA is\nan innovative and non-invasive technique that enables scientists to identify\nspecies by analysing traces of genetic material present in seawater samples.\nUnlike traditional survey methods that often require the capture or direct observation\nof organisms, eDNA can rapidly detect a wide range of species while minimising\ndisturbance to natural habitats.<\/p><p>\u201cThe technology\noffers significant opportunities for near real-time biodiversity assessment and\ncan facilitate the monitoring of endangered, protected and commercially\nimportant species. It also enables the identification of biodiversity hotspots\nand supports the monitoring of ecosystem changes across the marine environment,\u201d\nDr Marie emphasised.<\/p><p>The marine\nenvironment remains one of Mauritius\u2019 most valuable natural assets,\nunderpinning key economic sectors such as fisheries, tourism, biotechnology,\npharmaceuticals and other emerging blue economy industries. Marine ecosystems\nalso play a vital role in supporting food security, employment and livelihoods.<\/p><p>However, increasing\npressures from pollution, habitat degradation, overexploitation of resources,\ninvasive species and climate change are threatening marine biodiversity. Ocean\nwarming and acidification, in particular, are accelerating ecosystem degradation\nand increasing the risk of species loss before they can be adequately\ndocumented.<\/p><p>In this context, the\nadoption of advanced molecular tools is expected to strengthen the country's\nability to better monitor biodiversity, assess ecological responses to\nenvironmental pressures and support evidence-based decision-making. The\nintegration of eDNA into biodiversity monitoring programmes will enhance\nMauritius\u2019 capacity to conserve its rich marine heritage, improve the\nresilience of marine ecosystems, and support the long-term sustainability and\ncompetitiveness of the nation's blue economy.<\/p><p>The MOI's ongoing initiatives align fully with\nGovernment's vision for the sustainable management of marine resources and clearly\ndemonstrate how scientific innovation can contribute to biodiversity\nconservation while supporting economic growth and national development.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>01 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Technology, Maritime<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>IFB - PROCUREMENT OF DEFERASIROX 100MG TABLET AND OTHER DRUGS (RELAUNCH)<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>01 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Tenders<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Infrastructure: New footbridge ensures safer connectivity<\/h1><div id='gallery-1384' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='4' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='5' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='6' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='7' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='8' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='9' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5977' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5978' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5979' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5980' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5981' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5982' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5983' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5984' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5985' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5986' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><p>The\nMinister of National Infrastructure, Mr Govindranath Gunness, inaugurated a new\nfootbridge, this morning, at Les Casernes in Curepipe. The project aims to\nprovide a better connectivity through a safer and more secure infrastructure\nfor pedestrians who frequently use the \u2018Impasse Tuyau\u2019 shortcut to\naccess Sir Edgar Laurent Street and Route du Jardin.<\/p><p>Works, to\nthe tune of some Rs 3.7 million, started on 04 March 2026 and were completed on\n01 July 2026. The project consists of: the construction of a new footbridge of\n11 metres long and 1.2 metres wide made up of steel I-Beams and anti-skid\nchequered plate footing; fixing of handrails; and the provision of pedestrian\nwalkway.<\/p><p>Several\npersonalities were present at the inauguration ceremony.<\/p><p>In a\nstatement, Minister Gunness highlighted that the previous footbridge, which was\napproximately 10 metres long and 0.8 metres wide, was in a deplorable state and\npresented several structural distresses. He pointed out that the condition and\nnarrowness of the old footbridge represented a serious safety hazard for\npedestrians while also severely impacting the connectivity for local\ninhabitants. \u201cIt was therefore urgent to reconstruct the footbridge,\u201d he added.<\/p><p>According\nto him, the inhabitants made several requests in the past for an upgraded\nfootbridge. \u201cPedestrians are now able to use Impasse Tuyau safely, even\nduring bad weather conditions,\u201d he stated.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

He highlighted the key findings of\nthe review conducted by Crossrail International Ltd namely that the Metro\nExpress system generates core monetised benefits estimated at approximately Rs\n1.7 billion annually, based on assumptions and data provided by MEL and using\na UK methodology. <\/p><p>According\nto Mr Mahomed, these monetised benefits have not been considered when assessing\nthe construction and operational costs of the Metro Express system. The positive\noutcomes include avoided road accidents; benefits to users from business,\ncommuting and leisure travel; the energy value attributed to avoided carbon\nemissions; and reduced traffic congestion. Wider economic benefits comprise the\nvalue of contracts awarded to local businesses and small and medium enterprises since 2021; the employment supported through MEL subcontractors; and the\nwider societal value of jobs created.<\/p><p>The\nMinister also outlined the progress achieved by the company, indicating that,\nas at June 2025, compared with June 2024, MEL had reduced its total operational\nexpenditure by 10.4 per cent through the implementation of a series of\ncost-saving measures. These comprise the closure of under-utilised\nadministrative offices incurring exceptionally high rental costs; the\nsuspension of light rail vehicle operations on public holidays along Line 2\nbetween Rose Hill Central and Mahatma Gandhi, R\u00e9duit; the reduction in the\nnumber of light rail vehicles operating on Line 2 during Saturday early\nmornings and late afternoons; as well as measures to address fare evasion through\nthe recruitment of additional ticket controllers.<\/p><p>Furthermore,\nthe Minister referred to the strategies being implemented to increase revenue.\nThese include improving the availability of light rail vehicle services during\npeak hours, increasing revenue through the commercialisation of advertising\nspace, and optimising operations with the forthcoming introduction, on a pilot\nbasis, of a direct light rail service between Curepipe Central Light Rail\nStation and Mahatma Gandhi Light Rail Station in R\u00e9duit.<\/p><p>Looking\nahead, Mr Mahomed spoke of the long-term possibility, subject to Cabinet\napproval, of extending the Metro Express network to the Sir Seewoosagur\nRamgoolam International Airport and the southern region of the country. He\npointed out that extending the existing Port Louis\u2013Curepipe line to the airport\nwould be feasible through the use of the former railway tracks along the Port\nLouis - Mahebourg corridor.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>02 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Transport<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Procurement of Laboratory Reagents and Consumables for Bacteriology Diagnostic Department, Central Health Laboratory<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>02 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Tenders<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Mauritius secures US and Mexican support to enhance Exclusive Economic Zone security<\/h1><div id='gallery-1392' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1392' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=6010' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1392' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1392' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><p>The\nState Partnership Programme Agreement with the New Mexico National Guard and\nthe Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement with the United States of America\n(USA), will contribute to strengthen the operational capabilities, resilience\nand preparedness of Mauritius in addressing contemporary security challenges\nthrough cooperation with trusted international partners.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister, Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam, made this statement yesterday, in\nreply to a Parliamentary Question in the National Assembly.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister recalled that the challenges of the Western Indian Ocean require\ncollective action, thus the necessity of robust bilateral and multilateral\npartnerships.

The two-day initiative, running from 08 to 09 April 2026, brings together key stakeholders to explore opportunities in regional trade in services.<\/p><p>The opening ceremony was attended by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, Mr Dhananjay Ramful; Economic Development Board (EDB) Mauritius Chief Executive Officer, Mr Mahen Abhimanu Kundasamy and Director, Industrial Development and Trade at the SADC Secretariat, Mr Dhuraj Kassee.<\/p><p>In his keynote address, Minister Ramful underpinned that the workshop aims to enhance access for women and youth to opportunities in trade in services within the SADC region. He acknowledged the challenges often faced by these entrepreneurs, such as limited access to finance, difficulties in reaching markets, and inadequate information on regional trade systems. The workshop, he explained, would equip participants with practical tools to navigate these systems and seize business opportunities effectively.<\/p><p>The Minister further highlighted the growing importance of trade in services as a driver of economic growth, underlining its significant contribution to Mauritius\u2019 GDP and employment. He noted that digitalisation and e-commerce are transforming service delivery, enabling businesses to expand into international markets more efficiently. \u201cThis workshop provides a timely platform to empower women and youth, strengthen their participation in regional trade and support inclusive and sustainable economic development,\u201d he added.<\/p><p>For his part, Mr Kassee emphasised that trade in services has become a key driver of economic growth, innovation, and regional integration within the SADC region. He pointed out that while women and youth-led enterprises are increasingly contributing to this sector, they continue to face challenges such as limited access to finance, market information and regulatory constraints.<\/p><p>Organised by EDB Mauritius in collaboration with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, the workshop aims to equip youth and women entrepreneurs with practical skills to access and grow within SADC regional markets.<\/p><p>The programme features sessions on the SADC Protocol on Trade in Services, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, digital payments and branding, while also providing a platform for experience-sharing by successful women-led businesses.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

It provided a\nplatform for stakeholders to discuss ways to strengthen the national\nhydrography capacity and improve coordination among institutions engaged in\nmarine data collection and management.<\/p><p>Every\nyear, on 21 June, the International Hydrographic Organization and its Member\nStates celebrate World Hydrography Day, showcasing the vital role hydrography\nplays in improving our understanding of the ocean and supporting its safe,\nsustainable and productive use. The theme for World Hydrography Day 2026 is Transforming\nHow Ocean Data Is Shared.<\/p><p>Participants reviewed ongoing efforts to further structure and modernise\nhydrographic functions in Mauritius in line with international best practices. A\nkey focus of the discussions was the ongoing initiative to establish a full-fledged\nnational hydrographic office. The proposed framework aims to consolidate\nexisting expertise, enhance inter-institutional coordination and reinforce the\ncountry\u2019s technical capabilities in hydrographic surveying and data management.\nA draft proposal has already been circulated to relevant stakeholders for\nconsultation, with input being sought to refine and finalise the institutional\narrangements.<\/p><p>The key role of hydrography in ensuring safe navigation, supporting\nsustainable ocean management and enabling informed decision-making in maritime\ndevelopment was also on the agenda. <\/p><p>Speaking during the opening ceremony, the Senior Chief Executive of the\nMinistry of Housing and Lands, Mr Mohummad Shamad Ayoob Saab\nhighlighted the need for enhanced collaboration among all stakeholders and\ndepartments involved in hydrographic work. He pointed out that sustained\ncooperation is essential to ensure coherence in policy decisions and their implementation,\nas well as to support the successful development of the national hydrographic\ncapacity.<\/p><p>Mr Ayoob Saab further underlined that Mauritius is well positioned to\nstrengthen its role in the southern Indian Ocean region through better\ntechnical capacity and improved institutional coordination. He also recalled\nprevious regional engagements and the importance of continued collective effort\nin advancing shared maritime objectives.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify;

and\nResearch, Dr Kaviraj Sharma Sukon, to abstain from substance use and to raise awareness\namong their peers and community to foster a safe drug-free environment on their\ncampus.<br><\/p><p>The Minister made\nthis intervention during the launching of a half-day workshop focusing on the\ntheme, \u2018Addressing Drug Use through Public and Social Equity: Youths and\nCommunities at the Center\u2019 this morning at the University of Mauritius\n(UoM), in R\u00e9duit. <\/p><p>The initiative\nwas held in context of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit\nTrafficking 2026 being marked under the theme \u2018The World Drug Problem:\nPersisting Issues, New Challenges, Innovative Responses\u2019. <\/p><p>The National Agency\nfor Drug Control (NADC) in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and\nHealth Sciences of the university, regrouped a multidisciplinary panel discussion with\nexperts from the Agency, academia, and civil society organisations to examine\nissues such as addiction, trauma, social equity, stigma, HIV\/AIDS, community-based\nprevention, harm reduction, and evidence-based treatment approaches for\nsubstance use. <\/p><p>In his keynote\naddress, Dr Sukon underscored the Government's priority in combating drug\nabuse so that no child is left trapped by addiction. This unwavering commitment\nis clearly demonstrated in the 2026\u201327 Budget, which channels substantial\nfinancial resources into the national anti-drug initiative, he recalled. <\/p><p>He highlighted the commitment of different Ministries to partake in this mission\nfor the nation's welfare, stressing the urgent need for collaboration across the\nacademia. He noted with concern that the 2024 National Drug Observatory Report\nshowed that three-quarters of the 1,081 public hospital admissions were young\npeople aged 18 to 35.<\/p><p>\u201cAddressing\nthis urgent issue requires a multidisciplinary approach. We need every academic\ndiscipline involved to protect our students on all higher education campuses,\u201d stated\nthe Minister. Additionally, he called on the NADC and the UoM to conduct\ncampus-specific drug research to enable targeted actions.<\/p><p>Speaking about\nthe theme of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking\n2026, the Chairperson of the NADC, Ms Nadia Peerun, said that it prompts us to critically\nreflect on our national response to address new and persisting challenges and act\nwith innovative responses. She underpinned prevention as a first line of\ndefence, stressing the need to equip young people with knowledge, resilience\nand skills to help them make informed decisions, thereby reducing future harm\nand strengthening the society.<\/p><p>As regards\ntackling addiction, the Chairperson of the NADC stated that it should be viewed\nbeyond a criminal justice lens, requiring instead a more comprehensive understanding\nto design more effective and humane responses. <\/p><p>The Dean of the\nFaculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Professor (Dr) M F Mahomoodally, qualified\nthe initiative as an excellent platform to learn and undertake meaningful\ndialogue on tackling one of the most pressing public health and social challenges\nof current times. <\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Drugs<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Renewal of Registration - Contractor<\/h1><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/NewsBanner?id=1349' alt='Banner Image' class='img-fluid mb-3'><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Notices<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Renewal of Registration - Consultant<\/h1><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/NewsBanner?id=1350' alt='Banner Image' class='img-fluid mb-3'><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Notices<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Highlights of Cabinet Meeting - Friday 26.06.26<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>26 June 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Cabinet Decisions<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>SUMMING UP SPEECH THE APPROPRIATION (2026-2027) BILL (NO.

These include holding a passport that remains valid\nbeyond the intended period of stay, possessing a valid return ticket, being\neligible to re-enter the country of origin or residence, demonstrating\nsufficient financial means to support the stay, having confirmed accommodation\nor sponsorship, refraining from engaging in any gainful employment, and not\nbeing classified as a prohibited immigrant.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister stressed that any non-citizen who fails to meet any of these\nrequirements is not admitted into Mauritius, irrespective of nationality.<\/p><p>Highlighting\nthe country\u2019s openness to international visitors, the Prime Minister noted that\nMauritius has been ranked 10th out of 199 countries in the 2026\nHenley Openness Index, which measures the number of nationalities a country\npermits to enter without obtaining a visa beforehand.<\/p><p>He\npointed out that while the majority of foreign nationals receive a visa on\narrival, nationals of 15 countries are required to obtain a visa before\ntravelling to Mauritius, in accordance with Section 12 of the Passports Act and\nthe Eleventh Schedule of the Passport Regulations.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister further indicated that the inclusion of countries on the\nprescribed list is determined after careful assessment of several factors,\nincluding national security considerations, international relations,\nimmigration policy and the risk of visa abuse.<\/p><p>According\nto guidelines issued by the Passport and Immigration Office, nationals of these\ncountries are required to submit their visa applications at least one month\nbefore their intended travel date. Where all required documentation is in\norder, visa applications are generally processed within approximately 12\nworking days.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister emphasised that nationals of the prescribed countries remain\nwelcome to visit Mauritius and are not charged any visa fee. He added that, in\naddition to the standard immigration requirements, the Passport and Immigration\nOffice conducts enhanced security checks before granting entry clearance.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister additionally highlighted that the Budget 2026\u20132027 makes\nprovision for the introduction of a new digital e-visa system. The platform\nwill enable non-citizens from all countries to apply for and obtain an\nelectronic visa prior to travelling to Mauritius.

The Institute is currently\nextending its research to marine crustaceans. The genetic information gathered\nhas been compiled into the MOI\u2019s online Marine Diversity and Genetics Databank,\ncreating a comprehensive national reference library that supports species\nidentification, fisheries management, biodiversity conservation, seafood\ntraceability, and the sustainable use of marine resources.<\/p><p>According to the\nDirector of the MOI, Dr Daniel Marie, the DNA-barcoding initiative has considerably\nstrengthened the country's capacity to accurately identify marine species and\nhas enhanced evidence-based management of marine living resources. <\/p><p>\u201cThe initiative\nhas also generated critical baseline data on marine biodiversity within\nMauritius\u2019 EEZ, contributing to the protection of vulnerable species, the\npromotion of sustainable fisheries, and the alignment of economic development\nwith biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>Building on the\nexpertise and infrastructure developed through the DNA-barcoding programme, the\nMOI is now integrating environmental DNA (eDNA) methodologies into its marine\nbiodiversity assessment activities, particularly under the Marine Resources\nMapping Project.<\/p><p>Environmental DNA is\nan innovative and non-invasive technique that enables scientists to identify\nspecies by analysing traces of genetic material present in seawater samples.\nUnlike traditional survey methods that often require the capture or direct observation\nof organisms, eDNA can rapidly detect a wide range of species while minimising\ndisturbance to natural habitats.<\/p><p>\u201cThe technology\noffers significant opportunities for near real-time biodiversity assessment and\ncan facilitate the monitoring of endangered, protected and commercially\nimportant species. It also enables the identification of biodiversity hotspots\nand supports the monitoring of ecosystem changes across the marine environment,\u201d\nDr Marie emphasised.<\/p><p>The marine\nenvironment remains one of Mauritius\u2019 most valuable natural assets,\nunderpinning key economic sectors such as fisheries, tourism, biotechnology,\npharmaceuticals and other emerging blue economy industries. Marine ecosystems\nalso play a vital role in supporting food security, employment and livelihoods.<\/p><p>However, increasing\npressures from pollution, habitat degradation, overexploitation of resources,\ninvasive species and climate change are threatening marine biodiversity. Ocean\nwarming and acidification, in particular, are accelerating ecosystem degradation\nand increasing the risk of species loss before they can be adequately\ndocumented.<\/p><p>In this context, the\nadoption of advanced molecular tools is expected to strengthen the country's\nability to better monitor biodiversity, assess ecological responses to\nenvironmental pressures and support evidence-based decision-making. The\nintegration of eDNA into biodiversity monitoring programmes will enhance\nMauritius\u2019 capacity to conserve its rich marine heritage, improve the\nresilience of marine ecosystems, and support the long-term sustainability and\ncompetitiveness of the nation's blue economy.<\/p><p>The MOI's ongoing initiatives align fully with\nGovernment's vision for the sustainable management of marine resources and clearly\ndemonstrate how scientific innovation can contribute to biodiversity\nconservation while supporting economic growth and national development.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>01 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Technology, Maritime<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>IFB - PROCUREMENT OF DEFERASIROX 100MG TABLET AND OTHER DRUGS (RELAUNCH)<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>01 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Tenders<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Infrastructure: New footbridge ensures safer connectivity<\/h1><div id='gallery-1384' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='4' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='5' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='6' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='7' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='8' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide-to='9' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5977' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5978' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5979' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5980' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5981' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5982' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5983' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5984' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5985' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=5986' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1384' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><p>The\nMinister of National Infrastructure, Mr Govindranath Gunness, inaugurated a new\nfootbridge, this morning, at Les Casernes in Curepipe. The project aims to\nprovide a better connectivity through a safer and more secure infrastructure\nfor pedestrians who frequently use the \u2018Impasse Tuyau\u2019 shortcut to\naccess Sir Edgar Laurent Street and Route du Jardin.<\/p><p>Works, to\nthe tune of some Rs 3.7 million, started on 04 March 2026 and were completed on\n01 July 2026. The project consists of: the construction of a new footbridge of\n11 metres long and 1.2 metres wide made up of steel I-Beams and anti-skid\nchequered plate footing; fixing of handrails; and the provision of pedestrian\nwalkway.<\/p><p>Several\npersonalities were present at the inauguration ceremony.<\/p><p>In a\nstatement, Minister Gunness highlighted that the previous footbridge, which was\napproximately 10 metres long and 0.8 metres wide, was in a deplorable state and\npresented several structural distresses. He pointed out that the condition and\nnarrowness of the old footbridge represented a serious safety hazard for\npedestrians while also severely impacting the connectivity for local\ninhabitants. \u201cIt was therefore urgent to reconstruct the footbridge,\u201d he added.<\/p><p>According\nto him, the inhabitants made several requests in the past for an upgraded\nfootbridge. \u201cPedestrians are now able to use Impasse Tuyau safely, even\nduring bad weather conditions,\u201d he stated.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

He highlighted the key findings of\nthe review conducted by Crossrail International Ltd namely that the Metro\nExpress system generates core monetised benefits estimated at approximately Rs\n1.7 billion annually, based on assumptions and data provided by MEL and using\na UK methodology. <\/p><p>According\nto Mr Mahomed, these monetised benefits have not been considered when assessing\nthe construction and operational costs of the Metro Express system. The positive\noutcomes include avoided road accidents; benefits to users from business,\ncommuting and leisure travel; the energy value attributed to avoided carbon\nemissions; and reduced traffic congestion. Wider economic benefits comprise the\nvalue of contracts awarded to local businesses and small and medium enterprises since 2021; the employment supported through MEL subcontractors; and the\nwider societal value of jobs created.<\/p><p>The\nMinister also outlined the progress achieved by the company, indicating that,\nas at June 2025, compared with June 2024, MEL had reduced its total operational\nexpenditure by 10.4 per cent through the implementation of a series of\ncost-saving measures. These comprise the closure of under-utilised\nadministrative offices incurring exceptionally high rental costs; the\nsuspension of light rail vehicle operations on public holidays along Line 2\nbetween Rose Hill Central and Mahatma Gandhi, R\u00e9duit; the reduction in the\nnumber of light rail vehicles operating on Line 2 during Saturday early\nmornings and late afternoons; as well as measures to address fare evasion through\nthe recruitment of additional ticket controllers.<\/p><p>Furthermore,\nthe Minister referred to the strategies being implemented to increase revenue.\nThese include improving the availability of light rail vehicle services during\npeak hours, increasing revenue through the commercialisation of advertising\nspace, and optimising operations with the forthcoming introduction, on a pilot\nbasis, of a direct light rail service between Curepipe Central Light Rail\nStation and Mahatma Gandhi Light Rail Station in R\u00e9duit.<\/p><p>Looking\nahead, Mr Mahomed spoke of the long-term possibility, subject to Cabinet\napproval, of extending the Metro Express network to the Sir Seewoosagur\nRamgoolam International Airport and the southern region of the country. He\npointed out that extending the existing Port Louis\u2013Curepipe line to the airport\nwould be feasible through the use of the former railway tracks along the Port\nLouis - Mahebourg corridor.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>02 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Transport<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Procurement of Laboratory Reagents and Consumables for Bacteriology Diagnostic Department, Central Health Laboratory<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>02 July 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: All, Tenders<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Mauritius secures US and Mexican support to enhance Exclusive Economic Zone security<\/h1><div id='gallery-1392' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1392' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=6010' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1392' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-1392' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><p>The\nState Partnership Programme Agreement with the New Mexico National Guard and\nthe Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement with the United States of America\n(USA), will contribute to strengthen the operational capabilities, resilience\nand preparedness of Mauritius in addressing contemporary security challenges\nthrough cooperation with trusted international partners.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister, Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam, made this statement yesterday, in\nreply to a Parliamentary Question in the National Assembly.<\/p><p>The\nPrime Minister recalled that the challenges of the Western Indian Ocean require\ncollective action, thus the necessity of robust bilateral and multilateral\npartnerships.
