We have learnt with deep regret the passing away of H.E Mr. Jean Pierre Jhumun, High Commissioner, Mauritius High Commission, Maputo, Mozambique.
High Commissioner J.P. Jhumun was posted to the High Commission of Mauritius in Mozambique in 2015 and was accredited to Tanzania, Malawi, Senegal, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola. He worked hard to promote good bilateral relations between Mauritius and these countries and was a strong advocate of the Mauritius Strategy for Africa.
High Commissioner J.P. Jhumun was very much engaged in social activities and always defended the interests of the deprived and those at the bottom of the ladder of society.
High Commissioner J.P. Jhumun suffered from some ill-health lately and was admitted to hospital. The Ministry gave him all possible attention during his illness and was constantly in touch with the hospital where he was receiving medical treatment.
The Ministry, including the diplomatic staff, the Hon. Minister Alan Ganoo and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, H.E. Ambassador H. Dillum, present its sincere condolences to the bereaved family.
