Follow the Money! Fighting Financial Crime and Drug Trafficking Together!

The United States worked with the Mauritian government to send five Mauritian officials from the Financial Crimes Commission, Financial Intelligence Unit, Mauritius Police Force, and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to a specialized training program at the U.S. State Department’s International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) in Gaborone, Botswana.

They learned new skills and best practices to investigate and counter drug trafficking, money laundering, asset recovery, terrorism financing, cybercrime, access to international financial records, and effective cooperation between prosecutors and investigators in a weeklong course led by expert instructors from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training.

The training also explored the link between illicit money laundering and violence, equipping participants with strategies to combat both and to recover criminal proceeds.

🤝 The United States is proud to work alongside Mauritius to strengthen law enforcement cooperation and combat transnational crime.

Follow us as the cooperation continues.

🎓 Your Future Starts Here: Explore U.S. Higher Education!

This past weekend, EducationUSA teamed up with student council NAFCO for an all-day seminar that brought together more than 100 students from grades 11-13 to explore what a U.S. education could mean for their future!

Throughout the day, students learned about: 📚 Opportunities to study in the U.S. 🌟 Why the United States is the right destination for higher education 💰 The affordable costs of studying in the United States 🎯 Scholarship options available to Mauritian students 💼 Career readiness planning and the skillsets needed to thrive in today's workplace.

The energy in the room was incredible during our alumni panel discussion, where U.S. university alumni shared candid insights into their journeys to the United States and the skills they learned that continue to serve them in their careers today. U.S. Embassy staff also joined in, sharing what they learned at university translates directly into their day-to-day work.

And the cherry on top? 🍒 We were joined by 10 American undergraduate students from the University of Southern California (USC) who are in Mauritius working on a project! They shared firsthand experiences of campus life, practical tips for succeeding as an international student, and smart advice on managing finances while studying abroad.

A big thank you to Polytechnics Mauritius for hosting us at their Montagne Blanche campus and to everyone who made this seminar possible!

🌍✈️ Connecting Language, Culture, and Tourism Across Borders!

Congratulations to Mrs. Ludmila Soobrayen Ramasawmy, Senior Training Officer at the Mauritius Institute of Training and Development (MITD), on successfully completing the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) within the Global Tourism Industry Exchange Program in the United States.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State through its Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and supported by the Office of English Language Programs, the two-week exchange brought together educators and tourism professionals from around the world to explore innovative approaches to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in the tourism sector.

During the program, Ludmila participated in professional workshops, university visits, and cultural exchanges in Kansas City and Washington, D.C., gaining practical strategies in curriculum design, instructional approaches, cross-cultural communication, tourism marketing, customer service, and English language teaching.

Ludmila also engaged with experts from the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri–Kansas City, and the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream, while also networking with U.S. Department of State officials, tourism professionals, and fellow educators from across the globe. Cultural experiences, including visits to renowned museums and interactions with local communities, offered valuable insights into American history, innovation, hospitality, and culture.

Reflecting on the experience, Ludmila described the exchange as "very enriching and inspiring," highlighting the meaningful connections she built with universities, instructors, and fellow participants from around the world.

We look forward to seeing the impact of her exchange experience as she shares her new knowledge, skills, and global perspectives with colleagues and trainees at MITD, helping strengthen tourism education and workforce development in Mauritius.

📚✨ Celebrating Young Learners and the Power of English!

The U.S. Embassy was delighted to join President of the Republic Dharambeer Gokhool, educators, parents, and students at the ELTS × English-Speaking Union (Mauritius) National Primary Spelling Bee Competition 2026.

👏 Congratulations to all the finalists, teachers, parents, and organizers for making this year's competition such a success. Your dedication and enthusiasm inspire us all!

The event celebrated the outstanding achievements of Grade 1 to Grade 6 students and marked the official launch of the English Language Training Centre (ELTS), highlighting a shared commitment to expanding opportunities through English language education.

During his remarks, Chargé d'Affaires Halbmaier highlighted the strong U.S.-Mauritius partnership across education, trade and investment, science and technology, and space innovation. He noted that investing in English language learning gives students the skills and confidence to pursue new opportunities and help shape Mauritius's future.

As the modern spelling bee tradition traces its roots to the United States through the Scripps National Spelling Bee, the U.S. Embassy is proud to support initiatives that help students build vocabulary, strengthen communication skills, gain confidence, and develop a lifelong love of reading and learning.

Through our American Spaces programs and longstanding partnership with the English-Speaking Union (Mauritius) and other education partners, the U.S. Embassy continues to support English language learning across Mauritius.

🇺🇸✨ Welcoming Future Leaders to Mauritius!

The Acting Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy was thrilled to welcome 10 students from the University of Southern California (USC) and their professor, Dr. Susan Luczak, to Mauritius for a month-long research assignment.

Dr. Luczak, a former Fulbright Scholar in Mauritius (2018–2020), is bringing her third group of students to the island, a testament to the enduring ties between our two countries and the power of academic exchange. 🎓🌍

Our EducationUSA adviser coordinated an engaging briefing session with U.S. diplomats from across the Mission and local staff, who shared insights into their portfolios and the exciting world of U.S. Foreign Service careers. We hope to inspire the next generation of American diplomats! 💼🌐

During their stay, the students will collaborate on meaningful projects with the University of Mauritius and several local NGOs — including the Joint Child Health Project in Quatre Bornes — making a real impact in the community. 🤝
