Mauritius stands to benefit from friendly relations, including in relation to the British Indian Ocean Territory, where the UK and Mauritius are already engaged in talks that aim to implement the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea arbitral award of March 2015 and give due regard to Mauritius’ interests in matters of marine conservation in the British Indian Ocean Territory.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/07/2016 15:17:25 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
