UnionPay International (UPI) proudly announces the relaunch of its brand in Mauritius, reinforcing its commitment to empowering businesses, fostering financial inclusion, and celebrating the island’s rich cultural heritage. Themed “Celebrate Cultural Heritage and Powerful Partnerships,” the event brings together local banks, industry leaders, media, and influencers to showcase the strength of collaboration in driving economic and technological advancement.
This relaunch highlights the enduring relationship between Mauritius and China, two nations deeply connected through diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties. Since establishing diplomatic relations in 1972, China has remained Mauritius’s largest trading partner, supporting key sectors such as infrastructure, finance, agriculture, and high technology. The China-Mauritius Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has further deepened economic cooperation, enhancing trade and investment opportunities for both countries.
