I am privileged and honoured to perform this inaugural ceremony in your distinguished presence, Prime Minister, Sir – a ceremony that is similar to the one performed by the first Governor of the Bank, Mr. Aunauth Beejadhur, for the existing building in the presence of His Excellency, Sir John Shaw Rennie, Governor of Mauritius and late Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, then Premier and Minister of Finance on 31st May 1967.
