In his first foreign visit since assuming office, Vice-President C P Radhakrishnan will attend the swearing-in ceremony of Seychelles President-elect Dr Patrick Herminie on behalf of India, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Friday.
The MEA said Radhakrishnan will visit the Republic of Seychelles on Sunday and Monday at the invitation of the government of Seychelles.
“During the visit, Hon’ble Vice President will convey India’s warm felicitations to H.E. Dr. Herminie and reaffirm the close, longstanding, and time-tested ties between the two countries. Seychelles is an important partner under India’s Vision MAHASAGAR and in our commitment to the Global South. The visit underscores India’s deep commitment to further strengthen and expand its partnership with Seychelles,” the MEA said, referring to the “Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions” initiative.
