The Mauritian prime minister has said, the US will be present at talks over the future of the Chagos Islands, which has been the subject of a controversial deal between Mauritius and the UK.
Last October, the UK announced it would hand over sovereignty of the islands, known officially as the British Indian Ocean Territory, to Mauritius but would maintain a 99-year lease over the
UK-US military airbase on the largest island, Diego Garcia.
The deal was reached with former Mauritian leader Pravind Jugnauth, but Navin Ramgoolam, his replacement, has been very critical.
Progress has also been delayed to allow officials from incoming President Donald Trump's team to look at the details of the deal.
