“Today it is sad day as we bid farewell to this important personality of our region. To his son, Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth and to his family and the People of Mauritius I say Sincere Sympathy. Sir Anerood will be remembered for his years of dedicated service to Mauritius and for his loyalty to the People of Mauritius” said Alain St.Ange
“On our last meeting when i was still is office as Minister in Seychelles I felt privileged and indeed honoured to be invited for a meeting at the Office of the Prime Minister of Mauritius Port Louis for one to one meeting that gave the opportunity to Prime Minister Anerood Jugnauth and myself to discuss the close ties of friendship existing between the Republic of Mauritius and the Republic of Seychelles.
We discussed tourism as this was the meeting that had brought me to Mauritius and we discussed the Indian Ocean Vanilla Islands Regional Organisation which had at that time the Mauritius Deputy Prime Minister Duval at its head.
We also touched cruise ship business for the Indian Ocean among many other points. The meeting was friendly and really appreciated” said Alain St. Ange
