The SNP Leader has met with members of the Canada CPA branches during a four-day exchange visit to Seychelles.

Mr Wavel Ramkalawan, who is the co vice-chairperson of the Seychelles CPA’s Executive Committee, together with the Leader of the Government Business in the National Assembly, Mrs Marie-Louise Potter.

Also present at the meeting, were the Opposition Whip, Nicholas Prea, the Seychelles CPA Treasure David Pierre and Parti Lepep Roche Caiman MNA Joevana Charles.

The two sides mainly discussed the issues of democracy, including the role of the parliament, the opposition parties and parliamentarians, and the role of independent media in a democratic society.

Mr Ramkalwan hopes such exchanges will help the assembly to promote democracy and find ways to serve their constituents more effectively.
