51 years ago today, April 15, 1974 (March 23, 1974 in the lunar calendar), my country established diplomatic relations with Mauritius. Mauritius, Hemingway's paradise. Mauritius is located in the Indian Ocean in eastern Africa, with an area of more than 2000 square kilometers and a population of more than 1.1 million. Historically, Mauritius mainly produced sugar cane and began to adjust its economic structure since the late 1970s. Since the 1990s, the Mauritian government has been committed to the development of economic diversification. While consolidating and strengthening the three major economic pillars of the sugar industry, export processing industry and tourism, the Mauritian government has successively established special economic zones that enjoy preferential tax policies, established securities exchanges, opened offshore banks, built free ports, etc., vigorously encourage foreign investment and strive to become a financial center in the Southwest Indian Ocean region. With the implementation of preferential tax policies, many foreign businessmen have settled here, which has led to the rapid development of Mauritius's export processing industry. For example, the country's textile products are fashionable and affordable, and 70% are exported to the European market. At present, the output value of the export processing industry accounts for 13% of GDP and 2/3 of export revenue. The development of the export processing industry has not only created valuable foreign exchange earnings for Mauritius's economic construction, but also solved the domestic unemployment problem. Due to the development of the processing industry, there are currently more than 12,000 foreign workers in this country, of which almost half are China labor workers. In 1996, Mauritius's economic construction results were very gratifying: the national economic growth rate was 5.6%; the per capita GDP was 3400 US dollars; Foreign trade export revenue is US$170 million; the inflation rate is only 6%, ranking second in Africa; the United Nations Development Program lists it as a "country with a high level of national development" based on the National Development Index standard, ranking 60th in the world, ranking first in Africa. Mauritius is therefore called a "model for economic development in the African region." Independence was declared on March 12, 1968, and a republic was implemented in March 1992. Diplomatic relations with our country were established on April 15, 1974. Mauritius is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lingual country. In order to maintain political stability and social stability, the government proceeds from the actual situation of the country and implements a pluralistic policy in cultural education, advocating the coexistence of various languages, cultures, and religions, so that each ethnic group can maintain and carry forward its own cultural traditions. Due to historical reasons, Mauritius is deeply influenced by Western countries such as Britain and France, but the government pays attention to promoting Eastern culture and traditions. The Mauritian government also advocates that citizens must master at least one Eastern language. Nowadays, citizens generally speak three to four languages. This not only provides many conveniences for economic opening up, but also promotes friendly coexistence among all ethnic groups and social and economic development. In terms of religion, it implements policies of freedom of belief and equality among all sects, thus avoiding social unrest and even internal conflicts caused by ethnic and religious conflicts in many African countries.
