More than 320 guests and members were present.
In his address, the CBC President gave a brief overview of the various activities held by the CBC during the past 6 months, including the visits of Chinese delegations. He commented that the delegations were very impressed with the Business Environment in Mauritius and were keen to invest in the country, thus confirming the opportunities that exist for Mauritius. He also urged the Prime Minister’s Office to review the Appravasi Ghat Buffer Zone, as, in its current form, it could severely affect the development of Chinatown and priority Projects of the Government such as the Victoria Urban Terminal, and confirmed that the CBC’s will support any government in power in their vision.
