EU Green Deal: Unlock new market opportunities in Europe
2 Déc 2024
On the 8th august, Attorney General and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration, and International Trade, Mr. Maneesh Gobin, and Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Dmytro Kuleba, signed an agreement formalizing the mutual abolition of visa requirements between the Government of the Republic of Mauritius and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
This agreement facilitates easier travel for Mauritian citizens to Ukraine and vice versa, allowing Mauritian nationals to stay in Ukraine for the same duration permitted under the Ukrainian visa regulations for Mauritius.
Dr. Kuleba also met with Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth at the New Treasury Building in Port Louis. The discussions highlighted the importance of enhancing commercial ties, particularly in light of Ukraine’s economic recovery prospects post-conflict.
To bolster bilateral economic relations, the two countries have agreed to initiate negotiations on an Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (IPPA) and a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). These agreements aim to facilitate cross-border investments and strengthen commercial activities between Mauritius and Ukraine, including investments into Africa.
Additionally, Mauritius and Ukraine are advancing their cooperation in higher education, focusing on the recognition and equivalency of academic qualifications.
