Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>\u201845 years of cooperation between Seychelles and EU, testament to a multi-faceted, fruitful partnership\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

In a message to mark Europe Day yesterday, Foreign Affairs and Tourism Minister Sylvestre Radegonde has extended the government and the people of Seychelles\u2019 gratitude to the European Union for its continued dynamic support and valuable partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year will mark 45 years of cooperation between the Republic of Seychelles and the European Union, testament to a multi-faceted and fruitful partnership,\u201d said Minister Radegonde.<\/p>\n

Minister Radegonde\u2019s message reads as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year’s Europe Day commemorates the 72nd anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, which led to the conception of the European Union. The common principles and values that underlie the very foundation and existence of the European Union are grounded in freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law, promoting peace and stability. More than ever, those principles and values hold true today, as they urge us to find common ground in the midst of the world’s most pressing crises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe focus of this year\u2019s EU Day is \u2018Engaging Young People in the context of the European Year of Youth\u2019, a theme that highlights the significance of actively engaging youth in the creation of a better, greener, more inclusive and digitalised future. It offers an opportunity for the youth to learn, network and share their vision throughout Europe and beyond, but also to reflect on the meaning of peace, cooperation and solidarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the government and people of Seychelles, I would like to extend our gratitude to the European Union for its continued dynamic support and valuable partnership. This year will mark 45 years of cooperation between the Republic of Seychelles and the European Union, testament to a multi-faceted and fruitful partnership. The relationship between Seychelles and the European Union is one founded on shared values and a commitment to continuous and constructive collaboration. In spite of the ongoing pandemic and other events of grave concern and preoccupation, the support of the EU to Seychelles has been, and continues to be, unwavering.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU has played and continues to play a vital role in the region, forming long-term partnerships that adhere to the principles of democracy and human rights, resulting in long-lasting peace, stability, and equitable growth. In this regard, we look forward to maintaining and enhancing our close ties with the European Union delegation based in Mauritius.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 45 years of partnership have been one of vast and multi-faceted cooperation in important sectors like fisheries, maritime security, education, climate change, environment, energy and economic reform, to name but a few. New initiatives such as the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) will serve as the new financing tool replacing the European Development Fund (EDF) to contribute to eradicating poverty and promoting sustainable development, prosperity, peace and stability, which is in line with Seychelles\u2019 objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite Seychelles\u2019 high-income status, the European Union delegation managed to secure an NDICI envelope for Seychelles as a technical cooperation facility (TCF), for which we are appreciative. The envelope will be of added benefit for Seychelles, with our commitment that the funds available there will be judiciously utilised, based on this government\u2019s adherence to the principles of good governance, the rule of law, transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we have exemplified our commitment towards achieving our common goals within the boundaries of a well-balanced, productive, and long-lasting partnership, and it is without doubt that this will continue to yield fruitful outcomes for both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish every European a happy Europe Day!\u201d<\/p>\n
