National leaders meet |13 March 2013

The leader of the opposition in the National Assembly David Pierre yesterday met President James Michel at State House in the first meeting between them for this year.
In these regular meetings President Michel and Mr Pierre discuss issues of national interest.

Among the different issues Mr Pierre said he discussed with Mr Michel this time include the human rights principle as enshrined in the newly adopted Commonwealth Charter.

“I firmly believe we should be living in a State where the fundamental rights of all Seychellois must be respected. Seychellois should be able to live in dignity and I have stressed that the right mechanisms are put in place to ensure the charter becomes a way of living in the country,” Mr Pierre told the press following his discussions with the President.
