The UK has reached a historic agreement to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, ending decades of negotiations over this strategically significant region.
The UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, affirmed that the treaty would recognize Mauritius’s sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago, ensuring the continued operation of the US military base on Diego Garcia.
This agreement allows Mauritius to initiate a resettlement program for the Chagossians, addressing historical injustices while affirming military cooperation between the UK and the US.
The Chagos Islands deal reflects shifting geopolitical dynamics, with growing tensions among Western nations, India, and China in the Indian Ocean region.
