VICTORIA, Seychelles — On the occasion of Europe Day, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism Sylvestre Radegonde has reaffirmed Seychelles’ commitment to strengthening ties with the European Union. The message, issued today, marks the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, a bold vision that laid the foundation for peace, unity, and cooperation in Europe.
“On behalf of the government and people of the Republic of Seychelles, I extend warm congratulations to the European Union and its member states on the occasion of Europe Day 2025. This year’s commemoration carries special significance, marking the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration — a bold vision that laid the foundation for peace, unity, and cooperation in Europe,” the minister said.
The minister noted that the EU has proven a steadfast partner in advancing national and regional priorities, from climate action and marine conservation, to trade, security, and capacity-building. “As the world faces increasingly complex challenges — from climate change and geopolitical instability to digital inequality — our collaboration takes on even greater importance. We commend the EU for its continued global leadership, particularly in driving the green transition, digital transformation, and inclusive development through key initiatives such as the NDICI and the Samoa Agreement,” the statement added. Seychelles reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening ties with the European Union to build a more just, resilient, and sustainable world for generations to come.
