In response to escalating tensions in the Middle East referred to by some as the "12 Day War" the Government of Mauritius has moved swiftly to assess potential impacts on the nation. On June 24, 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade held a preliminary meeting following a statement to Parliament by Prime Minister Dr. Pravind Jugnauth.

The meeting, chaired by Junior Minister H. Narsinghen gathered senior officials from multiple ministries, including Commerce, Industry, Civil Aviation, and the Prime Minister’s Office. Representatives from the private sector Mauritius Export Association (MEXA) and the Chamber of Commerce were also present.

Key discussions addressed critical risk areas: energy and food security, shipping and air connectivity, freight costs, and the resilience of Mauritius’ tourism sector. While no major disruption to essential supplies has been reported, concerns were raised over potential increases in shipping and insurance costs due to heightened regional risks.

The Ministry confirmed that 16 Mauritians have so far sought information on consular aid, but none are currently requesting assistance from or through Iran. A 24/7 emergency hotline and embassy contacts in Riyadh, Cairo, Islamabad, and Dubai remain active.

Mauritius continues to coordinate with international organizations in case of repatriation or further escalation.

A major drug bust at Mauritius’ Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport has shocked the nation: 161.91 kg of cannabis, valued at Rs 196 million, was seized from eight passengers seven British and one Romanian arriving from London. Among the most disturbing revelations, 24 drug packages were found in a suitcase registered in the name of a six-year-old boy. His mother, Natashia Arzu Artug, 35, had 29 more parcels hidden in her own bags. Authorities called the use of a child in such trafficking "inhumane." Apple trackers were found with the parcels, suggesting organized smuggling. All suspects remain in custody. This follows a similar arrest on May 31, raising fears of a coordinated international drug network. Authorities are now working with the British High Commission to determine the child’s future, as investigations continue into this deeply unsettling operation.

The United Arab Emirates has officially closed its airspace following a wave of missile attacks by Iran, including six targeting Qatar home to the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base and one toward Iraq. The closure was confirmed by the UAE Foreign Ministry, with Qatar calling the move “temporary.”

Major carriers across the region are scrambling. Emirates, Etihad, flydubai, and Air Arabia have suspended or rerouted dozens of flights. Routes to Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria are among the hardest hit.

Emirates and Etihad have canceled flights to Tel Aviv and limited service to Jordan and Lebanon. Wizz Air halted operations to Tel Aviv and Amman until June 20, while flydubai suspended routes to multiple destinations across the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

Travelers should expect widespread disruptions, delays, and rebookings. Passengers heading to or connecting through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah to suspended destinations are being turned away at departure points.

Airlines are urging customers to check flight statuses online and update contact details to receive real-time alerts as the situation unfolds.

During the 2025–26 Budget debates in Parliament, Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Jyoti Jeetun, delivered a pointed speech outlining key fiscal measures and her ministry's direction. Her address gained attention not just for its content but for her closing response to Opposition Leader Joe Lesjongard in Bhojpuri. Referring to his remarks as "monter hogal ba".

Minister Jeetun labeled his commentary degrading. The phrase sparked instant reaction online, becoming a catchphrase used widely across social media and the public embraced the expression with humor rather than outrage.

Ashok Subron, Minister of Social Integration, responded to a Private Notice Question on the National Empowerment Foundation (NEF). While defending the foundation’s role, Subron turned the spotlight on activist Dany Marie—his partner and a key figure in Rezistans ek Alternativ.

Referring to her involvement in the Wakashio oil spill cleanup, he declared: “People like Dany Marie should have been given a medal.” The statement raised eyebrows across the chamber, given their personal relationship.

Still, Subron stood firm, framing Marie’s actions as a symbol of citizen-led solidarity and courage. The comment, though controversial, redirected attention to the efforts of volunteers during one of Mauritius’ worst environmental disasters, while adding a layer of political and personal complexity to the PNQ exchange.

DPM Bérenger Withdraws Insult Toward Duval in Parliament

Tensions eased slightly in Parliament on Monday, June 23, as Deputy Prime Minister Paul Bérenger retracted a controversial remark made toward PMSD MP Adrien Duval. On Friday, June 20, Bérenger had referred to Duval as a "cochon" during a heated exchange, a comment Duval publicly condemned in a Facebook video, calling it “insulting and offensive.”

Before the session began, Speaker Shirin Aumeeruddy-Cziffra announced that Bérenger had informed her of his decision to withdraw the word. He did so formally in Parliament, stating, “I withdraw the word ‘cochon’ addressed to this member.” Still, he added pointedly, “I do not agree that it is unprovoked,” suggesting the row is far from over.

Universal Pension at 65: Padayachy Slams “Inhumane Reform”

Ex-Finance Minister Renganaden Padayachy fiercely condemned the government’s plan to shift the universal pension age from 60 to 65, calling it “unfair and inhumane.” In a Facebook post, he accused the government of ignoring public outrage and undermining a vital social right.

Padayachy criticized officials for claiming financial constraints while increasing public spending and maintaining benefits for ministers. He warned the reform marks the erosion of the welfare state, leaving vulnerable citizens behind. "This is a crime," he declared, blaming the government for pushing austerity on the people while indulging in excess at the top.
