The new Prime Minister of Mauritius, Navinchandra Ramgoolam, expressed concerns regarding a deal for the Chagos Islands, particularly the terms surrounding the lease of Diego Garcia.
The UK Foreign Office positioned the agreement as being in the "shared interests" of both nations, aimed at sustaining the operational efficacy of the joint military base on Diego Garcia.
Opposition to the deal arose from various interest groups, including those representing Chagossians, who felt excluded from negotiations and expressed discontent concerning their representation.
While UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hailed the deal as a "seminal moment," ongoing concerns from the new Mauritian government and potential US administrative disapproval could complicate finalization.
