The executive chairman of the Paradise Group of Companies led the delegation, accompanied by Mauritius’ High Commissioner to Malaysia, Jagdishwar Goburdhun. The delegation members came from various essential fields such as tourism and hotel development, retail, information technology, online commerce, investment, and compostable plastics production.
