Vladimir Putin has signed a decree appointing Russian TV propagandist Irada Zeynalova as Russian ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the island republic of Mauritius, RBC reports.
Zeynalova is on Ukraine's sanctions list for ‘propaganda activities in favour of Putin's regime’. Until 2016, she hosted Channel One's Results of the Week, then moved to NTV. She is known for reporting from hot spots and problematic regions of the world. She has been honoured with Russian state awards, including a medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland for her coverage of the annexation of Crimea in 2014 from the Russian propaganda point of view.
Mauritius is located in the south-western part of the Indian Ocean and includes the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues, as well as the Cargados-Carajos archipelago, the Agalega Islands and many other small islands. The main areas of the republic's economy are tourism, sugar production and the textile industry. Banking business and offshore activities have also recently been actively developing in the country.
