Mauritius, Seychelles, Comoros: US boosts Indian Ocean presence amid rivalry with China

Africa-Press – Mauritius. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivers remarks at the release of the 2023 Trafficking in Persons Report at the State Department in Washington, DC, US, June 15, 2023.

The US is riding the tide across the Indian Ocean, opening up embassies in several countries while paying its highest-level visit to Comoros as the island nation leads the African Union.

Earlier this month, Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Richard Verma, the third-ranking official in the State Department, wrapped up a historic visit to Mauritius, Comoros and Seychelles. In Victoria, Verma reopened the US embassy that shut its doors in 1996, marking a return to a full-time diplomatic presence after 27 years.
