We spoke of the values that we share and also seeing the challenges in international politics these days,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The ambassador said that they also spoke of vocational training which is very important in Switzerland. He said this is also to try and build a bridge with the health sector in Seychelles concerning drug addiction. He went on to explain how in Switzerland they try to help addicts by placing them in the labour market and that vocational training is a good way out.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Sarrot described the relationship between Seychelles and Switzerland as very good and that \u201cthe ties that we have are much older than the date on which Seychelles gained its independence\u201d. This year the two countries are celebrating 40 years of bilateral relations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/seychelles\">Seychelles<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles.
