Prime Minister Narendra Modi today welcomed increased exchanges between the legislatures of India and Seychelles.

Modi appreciated the role of the legislatures of the two countries in upholding strong and vibrant ties between India and Seychelles as close partners, including in the Indian Ocean, the PMO said.

He recalled his own productive visit to Seychelles in March 2015 that helped both countries further deepen cooperation, the PMO said in a statement.

The delegation shared their perspectives with prime minister on further strengthening cooperation and people-to- people exchanges between the two countries.

The Seychelles delegation also called on Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan in Parliament House.

Mahajan said India considers Seychelles not only as a maritime neighbour but also as a trusted friend and a strong strategic partner.
