New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Mauritian counterpart Pravind Jugnauth will jointly inaugurate Mauritius’ new Supreme Court building which has been constructed with Indian assistance, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.
The inauguration is scheduled to take place on Thursay through video-conferencing in the presence of senior members of the Mauritian judiciary and other dignitaries from both the countries.
The building has been constructed with Indian “grant assistance” and will be the first India-assisted infrastructure project within the capital city of Port Louis, the MEA said.
The new Supreme Court building project is one of the five projects being implemented under the ‘Special Economic Package’ of $353 million extended by India to Mauritius in 2016.
The project has been completed within schedule and below the expected costs, the MEA said.
The building is spread over an area of more than 4700 square metres with over 10 floors and a built up area of around 25,000 square metres.
The building flaunts a modern design and green features with focus on thermal and sound insulation and high energy efficiency.
The new building will bring all divisions and offices of the Supreme Court of Mauritius into a single building, improving its efficiency.
