In Mauritius, Michael Chlenov, Secretary General of Euro-Asian Jewish Congress and Victoria Mochalova EAJC General Council member, Director of the Center for University Teaching of Jewish Studies at universities "Sefer", held a working meeting with Owen Griffiths, head of the Jewish community in the Republic of Mauritius.
Mauritius – an island state in East Africa, located in the southwest Indian Ocean, about 900 kilometers east of Madagascar. The population is about 1300000 people, about 100 Jews. Among them is most of French Sephardic, somewhat less immigrants from South Africa, the next largest group – the Israelis.
The Jewish community was officially registered in 2005. This is one of the few growing Jewish communities in Africa: a dynamic economy, including the tourism industry, attracts representatives of business, including the Jews.
The Jewish community formally consists of 30 people, mostly businessmen. Griffiths, who had moved from Australia about thirty years ago is the owner of the private zoo. The community maintains a Jewish memorial cemetery where in the 1940s were buried Jews — refugees from Nazism. On a plot of land next to the cemetery, donated by the Government to the Mauritius-Israeli Friendship Society (Co-Chairman O. Griffiths), was built the country's only synagogue. The community exists on membership dues. The Community maintains relations with other religious associations of the country, Griffiths is a member of the Council of Religious Representatives to the government.

Chlenov told the head of the Jewish community of Mauritius about the history of EAJC and handed booklets about the activities of the Congress. The parties agreed on information cooperation.
