Seychelles and China to work on tourism, fisheries, Blue Economy, education and health projects, says new Chinese ambassador
Seychelles and China will seek to enhance their cooperation and traditional friendship, said the newly accredited Chinese Ambassador to Seychelles, Lin Nan.
The new ambassador presented her credentials to President Wavel Ramkalawan at State House on Thursday.
"We have discussed projects that are advancing steadily such as tourism, fisheries, Blue Economy, education and health and many sectors," she told reporters.
The diplomat added that "we want to strengthen people-to-people exchange that will be the base of our relationship."
China and Seychelles established diplomatic relations in June 1976.
As the 16th Chinese Ambassador to Seychelles, Lin replaces Guo Wei who was accredited on October 23 in 2018.
Since it is nearly one year since Guo completed her mission in Seychelles, Lin explained the delay was "only according to our procedures, we have many formalities to do".
The new ambassador also paid a courtesy call to Vice President Ahmed Afif.
