Prime Minister Narendra Modi travels to Seychelles for a three-day state visit starting June 27, at the invitation of President Patrick Herminie. He is attending the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Seychelles’ National Day as the Guest of Honour and is set to address the Seychelles National Assembly. Multiple reports say the visit focuses on deepening bilateral ties and strengthening cooperation in the Indian Ocean region.
Ahead of the trip, Modi describes Seychelles as a valued maritime neighbour and a key partner in India’s “Vision MAHASAGAR” and its broader engagement with the Global South. Sources also cite a shared goal of promoting security and prosperity in the Indian Ocean, including maritime and security cooperation.
Coverage also points to meetings and discussions with President Herminie covering the range of bilateral relations, alongside regional and international issues of mutual interest. One outlet reports that Modi hands over a “Made in India” patrol vessel during the visit. Other reporting notes potential agreements and outcomes across sectors, alongside engagement with the Indian diaspora.
