Navin Ramgoolam says Keir Starmer expressed confidence about finalising agreement within weeks

An interim deal on returning sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, which would maintain the key UK-US military base on the largest of the islands, Diego Garcia, was agreed last year, building on work that began under the Conservative government.
