Officials from Ukraine and Mauritius met to discuss strengthening cooperation and agreed to start negotiations for an income tax treaty, according to a release published by the Ukrainian government.
“Today in Port-Luis, I was honoured to be received by Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth,” said Dmytro Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
This is the first visit by a Ukrainian Foreign Minister to the Republic of Mauritius.
“Both of our countries place a high value on protecting fundamental UN Charter principles such as sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations, and I am grateful to Mauritius for taking a principled stance in support of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, as well as for joining the Peace Summit communique,” he added.
They discussed how the two nations can strengthen their cooperation in areas such as political dialogue, trade and investment, and Ukraine-Africa relations.
“Given Mauritius’ highly developed economy and business environment, we welcome its strong interest in taking part in the recovery of Ukraine. In this context, we agreed to begin working on bilateral agreements to protect investments and avoid double taxation,” said Kuleba.
If an agreement is reached, it will be the first between the two countries.
