On the auspicious occasion of Africa Day, the Seychelles High Commission in India extends warmest greetings to all our esteemed African brothers and sisters.
As we celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our continent, let us take pride in the diversity that defines us and unites us as one African family.
As a nation born from so many ethnic origin, Seychelles are a celebration of the diversity that makes Africa so fascinating to the world. Within this diversity, the spirit of Africa guides us towards a future full of promise and opportunity
Amidst the challenges and opportunities that lie before us, reaffirming our commitment to fostering cooperation and solidarity in advancing the collective future of Africa is necessary.
The dynamism and potential of our continent are indeed awe-inspiring, with a youthful population brimming with promise and an abundance of opportunities awaiting exploration. Its admission of the African Union to G20 marked another milestone in our history constituting another important tool to ensure stronger collaborations.
In this spirit, the 2024 theme, “Educate an African fit for the 21st Century,” underscores the importance of building resilient education systems providing inclusive, quality and relevant learning opportunities for all our African youths.
By coming together in solidarity to prioritize education, we equip our peoples with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of the 21st century.
Seychelles, very proud with the highest literacy rate in sub-Saharan Africa around 96%, stands as a beacon of educational achievement and remains dedicated for more collaboration with our African counterparts to ensure a brighter future for all through the transformative power of education.
In marking this special Day, let us renew our commitment to unity, progress, and prosperity for our loved Africa.
That the spirit of Africa guide us towards a future of shared success and sustainable development.
Wishing all a joyous and fulfilling Africa Day!
Jain Africa!
Jain Africa-India friendships!
