The Government of the Republic of Seychelles and the Republic of Finland further deepened their bilateral relationship with the signing of a Bilateral Air Services Agreement signed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Transport, Mr Joël Morgan and Her Excellency Tarja Fernández, Ambassador of the Republic of Finland accredited to Seychelles. On her side, Ambassador Fernández said the agreement which will develop tourism and business opportunities is a concrete way of strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries. “Although Finland is far in the North, many Finns want to come on holiday in Seychelles. The agreement will bring more Finnish tourists to Seychelles while Seychellois will also be able to visit Finland and will develop business between the two countries,” she said. The ceremony took place in the presence of the national airline’s chief executive (CEO) Roy Kinnear, other Air Seychelles executives and Foreign Affairs officials.
