Seychelles and Bangladesh reaffirm commitment to boosting bilateral ties

The high commissioner-designate of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to the Republic of Seychelles, Zokey Ahad, yesterday paid a courtesy call on the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Sylvestre Radegonde, at Maison Quéau de Quinssy, ahead of his official accreditation ceremony scheduled for today.

Discussions centered around the conclusion of six memoranda of understanding (MoU), including one focused on the Blue Economy, a key sector which will be mutually beneficial for both countries.

The meeting also served as an opportunity for the two parties to reaffirm their commitment to strengthening bilateral ties and to explore new avenues for cooperation in areas such as tourism, agriculture, trade, investment, and education.

Due to the size of the Bangladeshi community in Seychelles, both sides recognised the importance of appointing an honorary consul for Bangladesh in Seychelles to better serve and support the growing Bangladeshi community.
