Описание: UK Offers to Frontload Payments to Mauritius in Held Up Chagos Island Deal | Firstpost Africa

The United Kingdom is doing everything possible to save its Chagos deal. It has reportedly offered to frontload a tranche of payments to Mauritius to finalise the draft deal over the sovereignty of the Chagos islands. Reports suggest that London is offering to pay Mauritius about 90 million pounds or nearly $110 million a year, for the initial 99-year lease of Diego Garcia, the main atoll in the Indian Ocean archipelago, which hosts a strategically crucial UK-US military base. London is believed to have issued a new proposal as a sweetener to finalise the stalled Chagos deal before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump returns to office. The new Mauritian government has recently reopened negotiations with London over the Chagos deal. Will Mauritius accept this latest offer from the UK? Watch the video to know more.
