In recent years, the China-Mauritius relations have achieved remarkable progress with frequent high-level exchanges, fruitful economic and trade cooperation and close coordination in such fields as the United Nations reform and other important international problems, he said.
The two countries should enhance cooperation in infrastructure construction and tourism, he said.
Mauritius appreciated the long-time assistance China has offered, as well as China's understanding of and support for textile trade and other issues that Mauritius has great interest in, Navin said.
He said Mauritius wishes to enhance cooperation with China in economy, trade, aviation, ocean shipping and tourism,
