Port Louis, 29 November, 2024 / 7:33 pm (ACI Africa).
Religious leaders in Mauritius, an island on the Indian Ocean, have called on the country’s newly elected government, led by Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam to take action in addressing the nation's key challenges and to work towards the development of the Mauritian citizens.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 25, members of the Council of Religions (CoR) in Mauritius extended their “heartfelt congratulations” to the newly appointed Prime Minister, ministers, and members of Parliament, wishing them success in their mission to lead the nation toward continued development and prosperity.
“We sincerely hope that the Mauritian nation will continue to develop under your leadership,” the Church leaders said.
They added, “Efforts are therefore required from our political leaders, together with civil society, to implement the necessary reforms to address the nation’s current challenges.”
“These include achieving food self-sufficiency based on a resilient and sustainable economic model, fostering the interdependence of capital and labor, and, importantly, developing an education system that supports the holistic development of the Mauritian citizen—not just materially, but even more so spiritually and morally,” the Bishops said.
