It is with deep sadness that the U.S. Embassy in Mauritius has learned of the death of former Mauritian Prime Minster and President Sir Anerood Jugnauth. We extend our condolences to the Jugnauth family and to all Mauritians who are mourning the loss of SAJ.
For the past 60 years he served as a pillar of Mauritian politics advancing democracy, education, and economic prosperity. The U.S. Embassy honors his memory.
