(UTV|COLOMBO) – President Maithripala Sirisena will be arriving in Seychelles next week, 08 to 10 October on his first State visit. He will be accompanied by the First Lady and a high level delegation, the MENAFN News reported.
President Sirisena will be in Seychelles on an invitation extended to him by President Danny Faure in March last year, during President Faure’s working visit to Sri Lanka. President Sirisena and President Faure are expected to have bilateral discussions on various areas of cooperation between the two countries.
The talks are expected to concentrate on health, education, tourism, environment, fisheries, maritime security and the Indian Ocean Commission amongst others.
Today (03), marks exactly thirty-years of diplomatic relations between the two countries and this visit is likely to pave the way to further cooperation between the two Indian Ocean neighbours.
