Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The importance of the partnership for oceans between the European Union (EU) and Mauritius was highlighted, yesterday, by the EU Ambassador to the Republic of Mauritius, Mr Vincent Degert, at the Odysseo, Les Salines, on the occasion of Europe Day, annually held on 9 May. A photo exhibition, including artworks by students displaying EU projects undertaken in Mauritius, was also on the programme.<\/p>\n

The event was marked by the presence of the Acting President of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr Marie Cyril Eddy Boisse\u0301zon; the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Home Affairs and External Communications, Minister for Rodrigues, Outer Islands and Territorial Integrity, Mr Pravind Kumar Jugnauth; the Minister of Environment, Solid Waste Management and Climate Change, Mr Kavydass Ramano; the Minister of Blue Economy, Marine Resources, Fisheries and Shipping, Mr Sudheer Maudhoo; and other dignitaries.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Degert pointed out that Europe Day was about celebrating peace and solidarity, the values of cooperation and the principles of peaceful relations and multilateralism, enshrined in the United Nations Charter.<\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of numerous challenges such as the Russia-Ukraine war, he spoke on the importance of peace in a globalised and interdependent world.<\/p>\n

The EU Ambassador also dwelt on the far-reaching partnership between EU and Mauritius which had mutually been beneficial to the countries and the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy four years in Mauritius have shown me that our 52 years\u2019 old partnership has constantly been developing to cover a growing number of areas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese areas,\u201d he indicated, \u201cinclude the sugar and textile reforms, infrastructure development, trade and investment, climate change and environment, the circular economy and smart agriculture, good governance and the preservation of democracy, and new challenges such as cybersecurity and disinformation.
\nUnderlining the importance of the oceans for human beings, Ambassador Degert mentioned that the EU and Mauritius had been working together for the sustainable and transparent management of the oceans through fisheries agreement and participation in the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission.<\/p>\n

The promotion of maritime and port security, the preservation of the ecosystems and the sensitisation of youngsters on the importance of ocean life through various projects and programmes were highlighted by the Ambassador.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking into the future, we are actively working in the field of blue economy, a sector, that holds immense potential,\u201d he said. Europe Day<\/p>\n

Europe Day, celebrating peace and unity in Europe, marks the anniversary of the historic ‘Schuman declaration’ that sets out, 73 years back, the idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe’s nations unthinkable.<\/p>\n
