MESSAGE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLLY OF SEYCHELLES ON THE PASSING AWAY OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
On behalf of the National Assembly of Seychelles, I express the deep respect and condolences shared with the people of Seychelles at the passing away of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
Queen Elizabeth is a figure of importance to our institution in her role as Head of the Commonwealth and Patron of its Parliamentary Association, alongside her role as Head of State of the United Kingdom. We recognize the cardinal role she played in international affairs through her long reign, during which she has become a familiar figure in many countries including our own.
The Queen symbolized the values and aspirations of parliaments in the Commonwealth organization which has been steadfast in the promotion of peace, democracy and human rights. Our Assembly joins the numerous bodies throughout the world in paying tribute to a figure representing the shared interest of parliaments everywhere.
Our Assembly extends its solidarity with the Parliament and people of Great Britain at the loss of a figure of national identity and unity.
The Speaker
