Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a State Visit to Seychelles from the 27th to the 29th of this month to attend the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the National Day of Seychelles as the Guest of Honour. The Prime Minister last visited Seychelles in 2015. The Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement that a contingent of the Indian Armed Forces, along with two Indian Navy ships, will participate in the celebrations.
During the visit, the Prime Minister will hold talks with the President of Seychelles, Dr Patrick Herminie, to review the full spectrum of bilateral cooperation and exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual interest. He will also address the National Assembly of Seychelles and interact with members of the Indian diaspora.
India and Seychelles share a longstanding partnership rooted in shared historical, cultural and people-to-people ties. As a key maritime neighbour in the Indian Ocean Region, Seychelles holds a special place in India’s Vision MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions) and its commitment to the Global South. The visit will reaffirm the strong and enduring friendship between the two countries and reinforce their shared commitment to further strengthening bilateral ties across all sectors.
