EU Ambassador calls on Mr Ramkalawan

The European Union’s head of delegation for Seychelles, Ambassador Alessandro Mariani paid a courtesy call on the Leader of the Opposition at Arpent Vert today.

Mr Ramkalawan and Mr Mariani discussed the EU’s Global Climate Change Alliance initiative, budget support for Seychelles which has been increased to a total of €18.5 million this year.

Mr Ramkalawan said the proactive role of the industrialised nations can help small island states like Seychelles minimise the impact of climate change.
He briefed Ambassador Mariani on SNP’s energy policy that calls for more financial resources for this important sector and the introduction of standards in energy consumption.

He conveyed SNP’s willingness to agree with a bi-partisan approach on such national issues like climate change and energy affairs.

Mr Ramkalawan also conveyed SNP’s thank to the EU NAVFOR’s assistance to Seychelles in the fight against piracy.
