In a statement to the media after the courtesy call, Ambassador Degert said that his first official meeting with the Prime Minister was very cordial and that discussions focused mainly on major current issues and the collaboration between Mauritius and the EU. The significant challenges, he pointed out, are namely the restructuration of the sugarcane industry, climate change, new emerging technologies, education, infrastructure, and the economy.
