Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>\u2022 The two countries to expedite pending MoUs <\/b><\/p>\n

The newly accredited Pakistani high commissioner to Seychelles, Muhammad Arshad Jan, has said that the two countries are keen to expedite pending memorandum of understanding in various areas of cooperation.<\/p>\n

Mr Jan made the statement after presenting his credentials to the Seychelles\u2019 Head of State, Wavel Ramkalawan, at State House yesterday morning.<\/p>\n

He said signing these MoUs will allow the cooperation to go further.<\/p>\n

These include an MoU in bilateral political consultation, which both sides have already agreed, according to Mr Jan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a mechanism between the two ministries of foreign affairs where we collaborate with each other on all regional bilateral and international agenda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Seychelles and Pakistan also have a pending MoU in illegal drug trafficking and illicit substances which he said was in the final stage. Another area of cooperation is in health. The two countries signed an MoU in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the agreement Pakistan will be providing health facilities and hospital management facilities to Seychelles very soon,\u201d said High Commissioner Jan.<\/p>\n

He added that the country also plans to send some of its doctors in ophthalmology and cardiology to Seychelles in the near future, to perform free surgeries on local patients.<\/p>\n

The two sides are also working on an MoU related to the avoidance of double taxation.<\/p>\n

High Commissioner Jan said \u201cPakistan is also very keen to engage with Seychelles under the Pakistan\u2019s Engage Africa Policy\u201d which promotes trade between the Asian country and its African counterparts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to enhance our bilateral relations in political affairs and trade and people to people contact especially in media through you and the cultural aspects,\u201d he further added.<\/p>\n

During yesterday\u2019s accreditation ceremony, Mr Jan also thanked the Seychelles government for allowing him to have the maximum number of meetings he has requested while in the country.<\/p>\n

He also thanked President Ramkalawan for conveying his sympathies and solidarity with the people and government of Pakistan during the recent flood that swept over the country.<\/p>\n

Seychelles and Pakistan established diplomatic relations in 1976.<\/p>\n
