💨 Abstract

The UK has agreed to hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius, while retaining a joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia. The agreement secures the base's future and strengthens Britain's role in global security. Mauritius will assume sovereignty over the islands, and the UK will continue to exercise sovereign rights on Diego Garcia.
