What India will do in an anti-China function

Giuseppe Gagliano's article on the Indian military base in Mauritius in order to contain the projection of Chinese power in the Southwest Indian Ocean

According to the Al Jazeera period, India is setting up a military infrastructure at the island of Agalega Nord in Mauritius.

THE INDIAN MILITARY BASE IN THE MAURITIUS ISLANDS

The aim is to contain the projection of Chinese power in the Southwest Indian Ocean on the basis of an agreement dating back to 2015 with the Mauritius Islands.

CONSTRUCTION STARTED SINCE 2018

The construction of these infrastructures began in 2018 and the tiny island is located about 1100 km from Mauritius and has a population density of only 300 inhabitants.

THE TARGET

The military infrastructure should also serve for Indian P-81 aircraft which serve both for maritime patrol but also for surveillance and anti-submarine warfare in that delicate area that is the Mozambique channel.
