appreciation of the Seychelles government and the department of Foreign Affairs to the Russian government for accrediting Mr Kislov as our honorary consul to the
Russian Federation with jurisdiction over the city of Moscow, as well as Rostov and Moscow regions”.
“You are officially part of the Seychelles government’s family. We are confident that you will be instrumental in the uplift and safeguard of Seychelles’ interests through the discharge of your mandate,” added Ambassador Faure.
Mr Kislov thanked Ambassador Faure and expressed his appreciation to join the
multinational consular community and to become a member of the Seychelles
consular service.
“I am grateful to the government of Seychelles for entrusting me with this important mission and I can assure everyone that within my consular
mandate, I will make every effort to promote the friendly relations that happily exist between our two countries,” reiterated Mr Kislov in his concluding remarks.
