Seychelles and Saudi Arabia Forge New Ties | Seychelles News

Seychelles Vice-President Sebastien Pillay just returned from a landmark trip to Riyadh, marking the first-ever visit by a Seychelles VP to Saudi Arabia — a bold move to deepen ties in trade, investment, and tourism. Building on recent high-level talks including President Herminie’s meeting with the Arab Bank for Economic Development, Pillay’s mission was to secure funding for national projects ahead of a major bank summit. The timing coincided with the swearing-in of Saudi Ambassador Saad Alnofaia, who presented credentials in Nairobi while officially representing Saudi Arabia in Seychelles. Key areas of focus included energy, connectivity, and boosting Saudi tourism. Pillay met with Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, signaling a significant leap in bilateral engagement. Both sides agreed to strengthen cooperation through their respective offices, adding a Gulf dimension to Seychelles’ expanding global partnerships — which already include India, the EU, and digital trade initiatives.
