The newly accredited Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to the Seychelles, H.E. Mr. Subutay Yüksel, paid a Courtesy Call to the Speaker of the National Assembly Hon. Roger Mancienne. H.E. Yüksel was accompanied by the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Türkiye Mr. Rajasimhan Ramani.
The discussion began with the Ambassador providing details of his past career experience across different fields and working with different thematic areas, as well as details regarding his previous diplomatic work.
This followed with a discussion of key areas for further engagement between Turkey and Seychelles, including high-level visits at the ministries, parliament businesses, as well as economic cooperation in the context of compounding global crises and renewable energy.
Hon. Mancienne expressed his sympathies for the recent challenges that Turkey is facing after experiencing earthquakes and flooding. The Speaker also mentioned Turkey’s instrumental role in the Ukraine Black Sea grain deal, a pact brokered with Russia and Ukraine by the United Nations and Turkey. The deal was crucial in allowing exportation of Ukrainian grain to global markets after supply chains had been disrupted by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The meeting concluded with both dignitaries exchanging gifts and well wishes for the future.
Following this, H.E. Yüksel and Mr. Ramani also met with the Defense and Security Committee.
