India Can Learn From Mauritius In Developing Its Blue Economy, Says Africa Expert

India can learn a lot from Mauritius in developing its blue economy as it was the first African country to develop a blue economy policy, says Ruchita Beri, noted Africa expert in the course of a discussion for The Gist on StratNews Global. A senior fellow with Delhi based think tank Vivekananda International Foundation, Ruchita made this point while analysing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two day State visit to Mauritius to grace its national day celebrations as Chief Guest. Asked how Mauritius can tap its blue economy better given the fact that it is surrounded by a vast exclusive economic zone of 2.3 million square kilometre, she said, “Blue economy is a concept which is evolving. Blue economy means any economic activity which has got to do with oceans - whether it is development of ports or infrastructure, sub sea mining, fisheries or tourism. India gives a lot of priority to the blue economy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said a number of times that the Chakra in India’s flag denotes blue economy. India has developed a draft policy on the blue economy.” Ruchita who has been a member of the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) task force on blue economy, said, “Here, it is not just how India can help Mauritius but it is also the other way round. Mauritius is one of the pioneers in the development of blue economy policy. It was the first country in Africa to develop a blue economy policy in 2013 and therefore, they have done a lot. I think, blue economy covers about 10% of their GDP. So, how do they go about it? I think they can utilise India’s technical help and assistance in enabling a better harnessing of the blue economy. And I think it will be mutually beneficial. Both India and Mauritius can learn from each others experience in this field.’’ Ruchita is convinced that India and Mauritius, which enjoy deep cultural and historical bonds, are friends forever. She says that the Indian diaspora plays a very important role in Mauritius. "The first founder Prime Minister of Mauritius was of Indian origin- the father of the current Prime Minister. The Indian diaspora has played a major role in the political and economic development of Mauritius." ============================================================ Join StratNews Global's WhatsApp Channel to get the latest updates: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb1W...
