Pope Leo XIII said the British agreed to hand over the caros system to Mauritius.

Pope Leo said in a long battles, saying that he had a “triumphant victory” in a long battle, saying in a long battle.

According to the conditions of the treaty signed in May, Mauritius will obtain sovereignty of the island in the UK, but the United States and the United Kingdom will continue to operate military bases in Diego Garcia, one of the islands during the early 1999 years.

The Pope said that the Mauritarian authorities hopes that refugees can return home. British opposition leaders and some Chagas people who are currently in the UK have criticized the contract.

Pontif said in French and said: “The new view of the return to the army is a encouraging signal and a powerful symbol on the international stage.”

He added, “We must strongly respect our identity and rights, especially the right to live in their land.

A British government spokesman said Diego Garcia’s military base was “essential” in the security of the British and allies.

“This transaction ensures a co-US-UK-based operation for multiple generations, along with strong provisions to keep their unique functions and to prevent antagonists.”

The United Kingdom purchased the island in £ 3 million in 1968, but Mauritius insisted that it should give up the island to gain independence from England.

The islands then cleared the road to the British armed forces, which were invited to move to Mauritius and Seychel or to settle in West Sex Crawle.

In May, the government said it would pay an average of 110 million pounds annually to Mauritius for 99 years, depending on the terms of the contract.

This contract is set up 24 miles around Diego Garcia, so you can’t build anything without British consent.

Foreign troops and private troops will be banned on other islands of the archipelago, and Britain maintains the authority to access the island.

This treaty will only take effect after being approved by the British and Mauritius parliament.

Diego Garcia, the largest island in the archipelago, was separated from Mauritius in 1965 with the remaining Chagos Islands and is currently accepting US military bases.

When the contract came, the Conservative Party described Lee as “state self -harm,” which left that the United Kingdom was “more exposed to China.”

The prime minister insisted that the contract is essential for maintaining the UK’s national security.

Keir Starmer said, “If we do not agree with this transaction, the legal situation will mean that China or other countries cannot prevent their own base on an outside island or to prevent joint movement near our base.”

“The responsible government could not do that.”

The agreement told the BBC in May, “Our country is pleased that this 60 -year struggle has finally ended.”

But in May, when two women born in Diego Garcia wanted to come back there, they raised the last minute legal challenge for the contract.

The High Court continued to dismiss the challenge.
