Country information

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Successive governments have lobbied for the return of Mayotte to Comoran control. But the Mahorais (people of Mayotte) remain firmly against such a move. In March 2009, 95% of the people on Mayotte voted in favour of it becoming an integral French Department in 2011.

The islands' Islamic history and culture, and membership of the League of Arab States and OIC, underpin the existing close links with the Gulf (and Libya). China has maintained a resident Embassy in the Comoros ever since independence; in November 2005 China wrote off all Comoros’ US$5 million debt.

UK Diplomatic Representation

UK representation to Comoros is managed from the British High Commission in Port Louis, Mauritius.
