CPA UK & Seychelles

CPA UK has a good relationship with the National Assembly of Seychelles. In February 2019, a CPA UK delegation visited Seychelles to learn more about recent democratic developments in Seychelles. Other areas of interest that were covered included the Seychelles' Blue Economy, drugs, education and conservation.

In 2017, CPA UK provided Seychelles with a number of parliamentary multilateral training platforms in London; two Member of National Assembly (MNA) and one clerk attended Westminster Seminar in November 2017, two MNAs attended Westminster Workshop in December 2017, and two MNAs attended the recently concluded Commonwealth Parliamentarians’ Forum in February 2018. Seychelles MNA Sebastien Pillay also headed the Mission for the UK Electoral Observation in June 2017. CPA UK values the contribution of Seychelles to the Commonwealth and soon aims to provide technical support to strengthen its parliamentary democracy.
