The UK government maintains that Mauritius is prepared to finalize a sovereignty deal over the Chagos Islands, despite demands for better terms by the new Prime Minister.
Dame Priti Patel criticized the government's approach, arguing it represents a 'monumental failure of statecraft' and endangers the UK's national security as well as the interests of Chagossians.
Foreign Office Minister Stephen Doughty defended the deal, asserting it serves all parties' interests and will bolster UK security while ensuring military operations remain uncompromised.
Navin Ramgoolam, in the Mauritian Parliament, expressed willingness to conclude an agreement but indicated that the current draft was unsatisfactory, without detailing specific requested changes.
