Port Louis (Mauritius), Nov 2 (IANS): Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj Sunday assured Mauritius Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam that India will not do anything that will adversely affect Mauritius's interests while reviewing the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).

Sushma Swaraj, who arrived here Saturday on a three-day visit, said amendments to the bilateral tax treaty would be made only after considering the legitimate interests of both sides.

She also emphasised that India-Mauritius relations "have an emotional connect", said official sources.

The visit of the Indian minister takes place against the backdrop of three Indian naval ships INS Talwar, Deepak and Mumbai docking in Port Louis on a goodwill visit.

Sushma Swaraj is here to attend the commemoration events of the 180th anniversary of Aapravasi Diwas here, the day the first batch of 36 Indians arrived in the Indian Ocean island in 1834 to work as indentured labour.
