India signed a free trade and investment agreement with Mauritius on Tuesday, the first with any country in Africa. It was also the first time since 2011 that India was signing a free trade pact with any country. Foreign minister S Jaishankar said the agreement will help boost post-Covid economies and also enable Indian investors to use Mauritius as a launch-pad into Africa.
