President Michel in high-level talks with Libyan leader
President James Michel is undertaking a one-day official visit to Libya at the invitation of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi, the Leader and Guide of the Revolution.
It is to be recalled that the Libyan government announced in February the cancellation of 50% of Seychelles’ debt and the rescheduling of the remainder on favourable terms.
During the high level talks, the two leaders are expected to discuss matters of mutual importance such as the further development of the African Union as well as the continued threat of piracy.
The President is accompanied by the secretary of state in the Office of the President, Jean-Paul Adam, and the first secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Charles Sorry.
Seychelles’ executive director at the African Development Bank (ADB), Peter Sinon, will also be joining the President in Tripoli from his current base at the ADB Headquarters in Tunis.
