He lauded the sense of leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Jugnauth as regards the overall spectrum and direction of the India-Mauritius relationship.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Secretary of India stated that discussions focused on the partnership between the two countries and the path of future development projects that India and Mauritius could undertake.<\/p>\n

He recalled that several developmental projects which are people-centric have been implemented such as the Metro Express project, and construction of hospitals and the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The drive to push the partnership to new heights in new domains of cooperation was also discussed, said Mr Kwatra. He mentioned the areas of financial technology, infrastructure building, capacity building, and how to work together to meet challenges.<\/p>\n

Mr Vinay Mohan Kwatra is India\u2019s 34th Foreign Secretary. He has served various roles in many of India’s missions abroad and in the country. He earned a degree in International Relations from the Geneva Graduate Institute in 1992.<\/p>\n

A career diplomat, Mr Kwatra took charge as India\u2019s new foreign secretary on 01 May 2022. He previously served at India\u2019s Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian Prime Minister’s Office as Joint Secretary. He has also served as Minister of Commerce at the Embassy of India in Washington, D. C. from May 2010 to July 2013.<\/p>\n

From July 2013 to October 2015, he headed the Policy Planning & Research Division of the Ministry of External Affairs and later served as the head of the Americas Division in the Foreign Ministry, where he dealt with India’s relations with the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

He joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1988, serving as Third Secretary and then Second Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India in Geneva until 1993 where he handled work relating to specialised UN agencies and the Human Rights Commission.<\/p>\n
