India and Mauritius on Monday signed a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation and Partnership Agreement (CECPA). This marked India’s first trade pact with an African country. Under the “limited” agreement, India will have preferential access to the Mauritius market for 310 products, while Mauritius will get access for 615 products. New Delhi will also have access to about 115 sub-sectors across 11 broad services sectors, including software, financial services and telecommunications. The agreement also has provisions for the unrestricted movement of skilled professionals.
