Seychelles

India’s bilateral engagement with Seychelles has evolved over our historical contacts and continuous support to Seychelles for its security, even as our bilateral trade remains modest. Today, India-Seychelles relations are characterized by close friendship, understanding and cooperation. Diplomatic ties were established with Seychelles after its independence in 1976.
