The UK government is contemplating front-loading financial payments to Mauritius in a deal that would transfer sovereignty of the Chagos islands, including a pivotal UK-US military base, to Mauritius. As the new Mauritian administration re-evaluates the terms of the October agreement, the UK aims to expedite the financial package amidst pressing economic challenges faced by Mauritius. While the deal's specifics remain undisclosed, it is seen as crucial for stabilizing the strategic military interests on Diego Garcia and concluding a long-standing territorial dispute.
