PM’s Departure Statement ahead of his visit to Seychelles (27-29 June, 2026)
At the invitation of my friend, H.E. Dr. Patrick Herminie, President of the Republic of Seychelles, I will undertake a State Visit to Seychelles from 27-29 June 2026 to participate in the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the National Day of Seychelles as the Guest of Honour.
Seychelles is a valued maritime neighbour and a key partner in our Vision MAHASAGAR and our shared commitment to the Global South. This year, we also mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of our diplomatic relations which are rooted in mutual trust, shared democratic values, respect for diversity and deep affinity between our peoples.
Building on the successful State visit of President Herminie to India in February 2026, I look forward to our discussions aimed at further strengthening our enduring friendship. Together, we will work to advance the progress of our peoples, and promote security and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region.
During the visit, I will have the honour of becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to address the National Assembly of Seychelles. This historic opportunity reflects the strong democratic values and parliamentary traditions that bind our two nations.
I also look forward to interacting with the vibrant Indian community in Seychelles, who have been nurturing the special friendship between India and Seychelles for generations, and serving as a living bridge between our two nations.
I am confident that my visit will further deepen the longstanding bonds between the two countries, enhance maritime cooperation in the Indian Ocean region, and advance our shared vision of a secure, peaceful and prosperous Indian Ocean region.

Your Excellency, डॉक्टर पैट्रिक एर्मिनी,
दोनों देशों के delegates,
मीडिया के साथियों,
नमस्कार
हमारे स्नेहपूर्ण स्वागत और आतिथ्य-सत्कार के लिए मैं राष्ट्रपति एर्मिनी का हार्दिक आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ।
उनके द्वारा “Guardian of the Blue Horizon” से सम्मानित किया जाना मेरे लिए और 140 करोड़ भारतवासियों के लिए अत्यंत हर्ष का विषय है। मैं इस सम्मान को विनम्रतापूर्वक स्वीकार करते हुए, उन सभी देशों को समर्पित करता हूँ, जो climate change की चुनौती से लड़ रहे हैं, और पर्यावरण संरक्षण को भावी पीढ़ियों के प्रति अपना दायित्व मानते हैं।
Friends,
मेरी यात्रा ऐसे ऐतिहासिक अवसर पर हो रही है, जब सेशेल अपनी स्वतंत्रता के पचास वर्ष पूरे कर रहा है, और हम भारत-सेशेल राजनयिक संबंधों की भी पचासवीं वर्षगांठ मना रहे हैं।
इन पचास वर्षों की यात्रा में हमने मित्रता को विश्वास में, विश्वास को सहयोग में, और सहयोग को जन-कल्याण में बदला है।
Friends,
हिन्द महासागर ने सदियों से भारत और सेशेल के संबंधों को सींचा है। इसकी लहरों ने हमारे बीच व्यापार, संस्कृति और मानवीय संबंधों को निरंतर पोषित किया है।
We believe the Indian Ocean is our shared home; Its security, sustainability and prosperity are our shared responsibility. यही भावना हमारे MAHASAGAR विज़न का आधार है।
Friends,
इस वर्ष फरवरी में राष्ट्रपति जी की भारत यात्रा के दौरान जारी किए गए Joint Vision से हमारी भावी साझेदारी का blueprint तैयार हुआ है। इस पर आगे बढ़ते हुए हर क्षेत्र में हमारा सहयोग मजबूत हो रहा है।
आज हमने हमारे आर्थिक सहयोग को और अधिक resilient और future-ready बनाने पर चर्चा की। हम दोनों देशों के उद्योगों के लिए नए अवसरों की तलाश जारी रखेंगे।
भारत और सेशेल के बीच connectivity बढ़ाने पर भी काम किया जाएगा। इससे हमारा व्यापार तो बढ़ेगा ही, साथ-साथ पूर्वी अफ्रीका और हिंद महासागर क्षेत्र के साथ सबंधों को भी बल मिलेगा।
हमारा विश्वास है कि Digital Technology दोनों देशों के बीच की दूरी को कम करने का प्रभावी माध्यम है। हम Digital Public Infrastructure में भारत के सफल अनुभव को सेशेल के साथ साझा करेंगे। और मुझे प्रसन्नता है कि आज UPI को सेशेल में लागू करने के लिए MOU किया जा रहा है।
Friends,
विकास साझेदारी हमारे संबंधों की मजबूत पहचान रही है। भारत हमेशा सेशेल की प्राथमिकताओं, आवश्यकताओं और आकांक्षाओं को केंद्र में रखकर आगे बढ़ रहा है।
राष्ट्रपति जी की भारत यात्रा के दौरान हमने 175 मिलियन डॉलर के Special Economic Package की घोषणा की थी। इसके अंतर्गत Social housing, transport, skilling, food security, शिक्षा और रक्षा जैसे क्षेत्रों में काम किया जा रहा है। सेशेल के human resource development में सहयोग भारत की विशेष प्राथमिकता रही है।
मुझे खुशी है कि हम सेशेल के civil servants की training में योगदान दे रहे हैं। आज Professional and Technical Centre की virtual ground-breaking भी की जा रही है। हमारा विश्वास है कि यह Centre आने वाले समय में सेशेल के युवाओं के कौशल, रोजगार और आत्मविश्वास को नई ऊंचाई देगा।
Friends,
स्वास्थ्य के क्षेत्र में हमारी साझेदारी समय की कसौटी पर खरी उतरी है। कोविड के मुश्किल समय में vaccines की आपूर्ति से हमने एक मित्र के रूप में अपना दायित्व निभाया।
आज जन औषधि पर किए गए MOU से सेशेल के लोगों को quality और affordable medicines उपलब्ध कराने में सहयोग मिलेगा। हम capacity building और ट्रेनिंग के माध्यम से सेशेल की medical care को और सशक्त बनाने के प्रयास करते रहेंगे।
ऊर्जा और climate action में भी हमारा सहयोग निरंतर आगे बढ़ रहा है। हम Green Hydrogen सहित clean energy के नए क्षेत्रों में भी win-win सहयोग जारी रखेंगे। Blue Economy हमारे संबंधों का एक स्वाभाविक और strategic क्षेत्र है।
हम Ocean observation, marine science और coastal management में भारत की expertise सेशेल के साथ साझा करेंगे। स्पेस के क्षेत्र में हम मिलकर आगे बढ़ रहे हैं। मुझे खुशी है कि इस विषय पर आज दोनों पक्षों के बीच MOU किया गया है।
हमारा मानना है कि भारत और सेशेल की रक्षा और सुरक्षा एक दूसरे से अभिन्न है। हम इस दिशा में अपना करीबी सहयोग जारी रखेंगे।
Friends,
भारत-सेशेल संबंधों की असली शक्ति हमारे people-to-people ties हैं। हमारी आज की चर्चाओं से यह संबंध और मजबूत होंगे। दोनों देशों के sportsmen और athletes के बीच सहयोग बढ़ाने के लिए हम संस्थागत रूप से आगे बढ़ेंगे।
सेशेल में योग और भारतीय फिल्म इंडस्ट्री की लोकप्रियता हमारे सांस्कृतिक जुड़ाव को दर्शाती है। इसी भावना के साथ हम दोनों देशों के लोगों, विशेषकर युवाओं के बीच संपर्क बढ़ाने के प्रयास जारी रखेंगे।
Friends,
मेरी सेशेल की यात्रा का संदेश स्पष्ट है: भारत ऐसे हिंद महासागर की कल्पना करता है, जहाँ समुद्री सुरक्षा के साथ आर्थिक समृद्धि भी बढ़े; जहाँ हमारी साझेदारी आकार नहीं, आपसी सम्मान और विश्वास पर आधारित हो; और जहाँ हम हर देश के पास-पास नहीं, साथ-साथ चलें।
Our vision is to make Indian Ocean into an Ocean of Opportunity.
Excellency,
हमारे संबंधों के पिछले पचास वर्ष गहरे विश्वास और साझा प्रगति के रहे हैं। आने वाले पचास वर्ष innovation, sustainability और shared prosperity के होंगे।
मैं एक बार फिर भारत के प्रति आपकी मित्रता और हमारे संबंधों के प्रति आपकी अटूट प्रतिबद्धता के लिए आपका आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ।
आप सबका बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद।

PM honoured with ‘Guardian of the Blue Horizon’ Presidential Distinction
At a special ceremony, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi was today conferred with a Presidential Distinction – ‘Guardian of the Blue Horizon’ by the President of Seychelles, H.E. Dr. Patrick Herminie. The honour has been conferred upon Prime Minister for his green leadership, and efforts towards advancing the interests of developing countries and his longstanding commitment towards promoting the Blue Economy, climate action, sustainable management of ocean resources, and the developmental aspirations of Small Island Developing States. This is the first time that this distinguished honour has been bestowed.
Prime Minister dedicated the honour to all the countries who are committed to environmental conservation and fighting climate change. He underlined that the recognition, at a time when both countries are celebrating 50 years of their diplomatic relations, would go a long way in further enhancing the special friendship. The honour acknowledges Prime Minister’s longstanding commitment towards a greener planet, including the International Solar Alliance, Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam (Plant for Mother), International Big Cat Alliance, among others. This recognition is the latest in a series of such honours bestowed upon Prime Minister for promoting sustainable development, including the Agricola Medal by FAO, Seoul Peace Prize and the UN Champion of the Earth Award.
The honour underscores the importance attached by Seychelles to India’s growing role as a trusted partner in supporting capacity building, environmental action, sustainable development initiatives, and advancing shared priorities across the Indian Ocean Region.

PM’s address to the National Assembly of Seychelles
Your Excellency, Honorable मिसेस अज़ारेल अर्नेस्टा,
Speaker of the National Assembly, Honorable मिसेस सिल्वान लेमियेल,
Leader of Government Business,
Honorable मिस्टर बैनॉ जॉर्ज, Leader of Opposition,
Honourable Members of the National Assembly,
And my dear sisters and brothers,
Namaskar!
Bonn apremidi!
It is a special honour to stand before you as the first Indian Prime Minister to address this National Assembly. I thank you, Madam Speaker, for your warm words.
I also thank President एर्मिनी and the people of Seychelles for honouring me with the “Guardian of the Blue Horizon earlier today. It will encourage all those who are making sustained efforts for environment conservation. I bring with me the warm greetings and best wishes of 1.4 billion people of India.
The first country in the Indian Ocean region that I visited as Prime Minister was Seychelles in 2015. It was also my first visit to Africa as Prime Minister. I came here because I believed that Seychelles occupies a special place in India’s vision for the Indian Ocean. Today, as I return here after a decade, that conviction is stronger than ever.
And I am delighted to join you as you celebrate fifty years of your independence. Congratulations to you and the people of Seychelles on this special occasion.
Honourable Members,
To address this National Assembly is a rare privilege. Thank you for this special honour. I take this opportunity to congratulate the newly-elected members of this Eighth National Assembly. I also extend my felicitations to you, Madam Speaker, on becoming the first woman Speaker of this august House.
Honourable Members,
It is important to recall today that our friendship did not begin fifty years ago with the establishment of our diplomatic relations. It began much earlier. In August 1770, there were five Indians among those who arrived on board the ship Thelemaque at Saint Anne Island. That voyage showed the path to many more who followed. Over time, their stories became part of the story of modern Seychelles.
It reminds us that the bonds between us were not created by governments. They were built by people, nurtured by families, and sustained by generations. The Indian Ocean made this possible. The Indian Ocean does not separate India and Seychelles. It connects us. That is why we meet not as strangers. We meet as old friends.
Honourable Members,
The greatest strength of Seychelles is its people. Over generations, people from all parts of the world arrived here. They brought with them different languages, customs, beliefs and traditions. And together, they built a shared identity that is proudly Seychellois.
As the motto of this National Assembly says – Unity in Diversity. It can be heard in the melodies of Creole music. It can be seen in the rhythm of the Moutya dance. It can be experienced during Festival Kreol.
When the nation celebrates the richness of its heritage, the connections between our cultures are also visible in everyday life. They can be felt in the flavours of Kari Koko, Samossa, and Chutney. They can be found in the celebrations of Deepavali, Thai Pongal, and the Garba dance during Navratri. This is the Creole spirit that gives us great confidence in the future of our friendship.
Honourable Members,
As maritime neighbours, we recognise that the security of one adds to the security of the other. The prosperity of one contributes to the prosperity of the other. And the stability of the region benefits us all.
This year offers a powerful reminder of the depth of our partnership. Fifty years ago, at the dawn of your independence, an Indian naval ship, INS Nilgiri, was present in Port Victoria as a mark of friendship and solidarity. And today, INS Tarkash and INS Ikshak are docked at Port Victoria to celebrate the Golden Jubilee with you.
The passage of fifty years has changed many things. But it has not changed our commitment to one another. For decades, our defence forces, coast guards, and maritime agencies have trained and worked closely together. India deeply values the professionalism and dedication of the Seychelles Defence Forces and the Seychelles Coast Guard. They play a vital role in safeguarding your own vast maritime domain, as well as the wider Indian Ocean region. Our cooperation in maritime security, capacity building, hydrography, and maritime domain awareness reflects our shared commitment to a safer and more secure region.
I met President Herminie – Ton Pat – this morning and reviewed the remarkable progress achieved in our partnership. We also discussed our shared vision for the future. Our vision is captured in the idea of MAHASAGAR – Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions.
This vision recognises that our futures are inter-connected and inter-dependent. And, we will continue to work together for a safer and more secure Indian Ocean region.
Honourable Members,
When people look at a map, they may see Seychelles as a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. But we see something much greater. We see a nation whose horizons stretch far beyond its shores. Your maritime domain extends across nearly 1.4 million square kilometres.
This makes Seychelles not a small island state – but a Large Ocean Country. Long before the Blue Economy became a part of global discussions, Seychelles was already leading the way. Whether in protecting marine ecosystems or in advancing innovations like Blue Bonds, your country has helped shape important global conversations. Together, we can build partnerships in fisheries, marine science, coastal management, renewable energy, and sustainable tourism.
Yesterday, I had the honour of planting a sapling of the iconic Coco de Mer tree. Much like Seychelles itself – it is unique, precious, and occupies a special place in the world. The efforts being made by you to protect and preserve this natural wonder reflect a larger philosophy – that humanity must live in harmony with nature.
This sentiment resonates deeply in India as well. Let us work together to ensure that future generations inherit oceans that are healthier, safer, and more abundant than those we enjoy today.
Honourable Members,
The Global South, and especially the island nations, are the most impacted by Climate Change. Its effects are already visible on our coastlines, in the marine ecosystems, in weather patterns, and in our communities. We both firmly believe that those who have contributed the least to climate change should not bear the greatest burden of its consequences.
Climate action must be guided by fairness, responsibility, and equity. This is the essence of climate justice.
India has sought to lead by example. Over the last decade, we have undertaken one of the world’s largest expansions of renewable energy. We have championed sustainable lifestyles through Mission LiFE – Lifestyle for Environment. Through our initiatives like International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Global Biofuels Alliance, and Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam – a tree for mother – we have worked with partner countries to boost the green transition.
And India is committed to continue working with Seychelles to ensure that the concerns of Small Island Developing States receive the attention they deserve.
Honourable Members,
Seychelles and India both seek a world where development is more inclusive. We both seek a world where international institutions reflect contemporary realities. We believe that our shared future must be shaped collectively, inclusively, and fairly.
This belief guided India’s efforts during our G20 Presidency. It was in this spirit that we worked to place the priorities of the Global South at the centre of international discussions. And it was in this spirit that we welcomed the African Union as a permanent member of the G20. This is the spirit that unites the Global South. And this is the vision that India and Seychelles will continue to advance together.
Honourable Members,
As we celebrate the achievements of the past fifty years, we must also look ahead. The future of Seychelles will be shaped by its youth. We are proud that students, professionals, officials, and security forces of Seychelles have trained and studied in India for decades.
In fact, it is said that one in every fifty people in Seychelles has undergone some training in India. They have returned home with skills, friendships, and experiences that continue to strengthen our partnership today.
I was delighted to learn about your IGNITE initiative to provide internships for the youth. It is an excellent framework, and we can explore new avenues for cooperation in this sector.
A key focus area for such cooperation can be in digital innovation. India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has demonstrated how technology can expand opportunity, improve governance, boost financial inclusion, and deliver services for hundreds of millions of people.
We would be happy to share our experiences and expertise as you pursue your own digital transformation. I am confident that the young people of Seychelles will embrace these opportunities with the same determination that guided the first fifty years of independence.
Honourable Members,
Today, as I stand before you in this historic Golden Jubilee year, our people are celebrating a friendship that stretches back more than two and a half centuries. Few partnerships are built on foundations as deep. And few partnerships have grown with such warmth, trust, and goodwill.
As we look ahead, let us continue to build upon these foundations. India will remain your trusted partner. We will celebrate your achievements. We will support your aspirations. And we will stand beside you as friends.
The last fifty years have been remarkable. But I firmly believe that the best chapters of the Seychelles story are yet to be written. And the best of our friendship is yet to come.
