Chagossians being Mauritians enjoy the same rights as other Mauritian citizens. The Government of Mauritius has also endeavoured over the years, within its available means, to facilitate the integration of Chagossian community into the Mauritian society. The Government of Mauritius recognizes the legitimate right and claim of the former inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago, as. Mauritian citizens, to be resettled in the Archipelago. The Government of Mauritius will continue to press for the early and unconditional return of the Chagos Archipelago, including Diego Garcia, to Mauritius, whilst firmly supporting the right of return of the Chagossians to the Archipelago. I thank you.
