Seychellois diplomats Claude Morel and Bernard Shamlaye have recently presented their credentials to become the ambassadors of Seychelles in Angola and Russia respectively.
Mr Morel presented his letters of credentials to President Jose Edouardo dos Santos as Seychelles’ ambassador to Angola during a ceremony at the presidential palace in Luanda on February 21, 2014, in the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs George Rebelo Chikoti.
President dos Santos reciprocated the greetings of friendship, solidarity and cooperation that were conveyed to him by Ambassador Morel on behalf of President James Michel.
The exchange in the meeting focused on parameters to further consolidate the relations between the two countries. President dos Santos suggested the establishment of a joint bilateral commission as a vehicle to implement mutual programmes and partnerships, with a view to periodically monitoring progress registered.
Collaboration within the framework of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) agenda for regional integration was also addressed.
The appreciation of Seychelles’ role in contributing to resolve the political crisis in Madagascar was relayed to Ambassador Morel.
Angola and Seychelles share common views and aspirations in the promotion and defence of their respective interests in the international fora, particularly within the context of the United Nations and the African Union.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Bernard Shamlaye recently presented his credentials as Seychelles’ ambassador to Russia to President Vladimir Putin in a joint ceremony involving 17 other ambassadors in the St Alexander Hall in the Kremlin.
Ambassador Shamlaye conveyed to President Putin the best wishes of President James Michel and his wish to further the existing strong ties of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
The Russian head of state expressed his satisfaction with the state of relations between Russia and Seychelles and noted in particular the good cooperation in combating piracy and growing exchanges in tourism.
Discussions between the ambassador and officials of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs covered a range of subjects including economic cooperation and investment, maritime security, and cooperation in the fields of education, science, culture and sport.
