Question

Accepted Answer

1 and 2 only — Statements 1 and 2 are correct. PM Modi is the first Indian to receive Mauritius's highest civilian honour, and ties were elevated to an Enhanced Strategic Partnership. Statement 3 is incorrect because the MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions) vision encompasses trade for development, capacity building for sustainable growth, and mutual security, rather than being a strictly military alliance.
