Seychelles has announced it plans to open a diplomatic mission in Sri Lanka later this year. This follows the visit of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who leaves Seychelles later today at the end of a three day official visit.

He leaves behind a permanent diplomatic presence with the opening yesterday afternoon of the first Sri Lankan High Commission in the Indian Ocean archipelago.

The Sri-Lankan head of state opened the High Commission office in the Capital City building in the Seychelles capital of Victoria in the presence of Seychelles President James Michel, Vice President Danny Faure and officials of the two countries.

Rajatha Piyatissa who recently presented his credentials to Michel as the new resident High Commissioner to the archipelago will be in charge of his country’s diplomatic mission. (Seychelles News Agency)

Why don't you use all these efforts to amend the relationships with useful nations rather than insignificant ones like this?

Good question..The fact is that he will not be tolerated in useful nations, hence his thamashas and waste of our money to visit these insignificant countries.

This is definitely going to facilitate the drugs trade between the two countries.
