This policy provides for the exchanges in the fields of arts and culture and usually the sending part meets the costs related to air tickets and travel insurance while the receiving party makes provision for board and lodging and inland transport.
The Ministry/ Commission has several Cultural Exchange Programmes (CEPS)/ Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) on Cultural Cooperation with friendly countries such as India, China, Seychelles, Egypt amongst others.
This has enabled substantial amount of artists (from Mauritius, Rodrigues and Agalega) to participate in international events held abroad and this has brought a greater visibility for Mauritius in the international market.
