Seychelles will receive a grant of USD 5.7 million from India to finance high-impact community development projects through a newly signed memorandum of understanding (MOU).
The MOU was signed in New Delhi by Seychelles’ Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Sylvestre Radegonde, and the Minister for External Affairs of India S Jayashankar.
Discussions between the two ministers focused on the further strengthening of the bilateral relations between Seychelles and India, as well as regional and international issues of interest to both countries. Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, and India have a long and strong relationship as well as cultural ties.
India has undertaken many projects in Seychelles including completing the Magistrates Court and installing a one-megawatt solar plant on Romainville Island. The one-megawatt solar plant on the man-made island is expected to produce enough electricity to meet the consumption of about 400 households.
