The Republic of Mauritius is an island with an area of 1865 square
kilometres and is located in the South West of the Indian Ocean. This small island offers
sun, sea, beaches and is developing rapidly to offer many other facilities.
The amazing feature about Mauritius is that it is a cosmopolitan island
where many cultures meet and live in harmony. It is a vivid example of tolerance and
mutual understanding between people of different beliefs and traditions.
The President of the Republic, Mr.
Cassam Uteem attributes the well being of the citizens to their tolerance as he
said, «If our country is recognised as a society where it is pleasant to live, and is
often quoted as a model where peace and harmony prevail, this is thanks to the spirit of
tolerance that we have shown towards one another. The various components of the Mauritian
society have, over the years, learned to understand and to respect each other». |
The Republic of Mauritius is known for its relaxed attitude and at the
same time is famous for its success story on the economic side. It is an example for
various international organisations and is acknowledged regularly in international forums
as a model to be followed by other African countries. |
