Abstract:

On 3 October, British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Secretary David Lammy announced the decision to enter into a political agreement on the transfer of the Chagos archipelago to Mauritius. The agreement challenges not only British but also U.S. military strategy in the Indo-Pacific, especially in the context of the future of the American use of the base on the Diego Garcia atoll. It also puts into question the status of the disputed British territories in the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, and Cyprus. From the perspective of U.S. allies in Europe and East Asia, including Poland, the implications of the cession for U.S. strategic military mobility in the event of a global conflict will be important.
