Representatives from Mauritius and the UK held further productive discussions in London this week on the future of the Chagos Archipelago.

Both countries reiterated their commitment to concluding a treaty providing that Mauritius is sovereign over the Chagos Archipelago; and that would ensure the long-term, secure and effective operation of the base on Diego Garcia.
