\u201cSeychelles remains your country, your homeland and it is important for all of us to make our contribution no matter where we are in the world. Everyone is welcome to share their knowledge and expertise which in return will be for the benefit of the country and our people,\u201d said President Ramkalawan.<\/p>\n
