Seychelles diplomatic and multilateral engagement

Overview

Seychelles has expanded its international presence through new diplomatic relations and reaffirmed its commitment to global cooperation. In late September 2026, the nation formally established diplomatic ties with the Republic of Congo and the Republic of Honduras during the United Nations 81st Session High-Level Week in New York.

Following these developments, on United Nations Day, President Dr. Patrick Herminie issued a message emphasizing a foreign policy of being ‘a friend to all and an enemy to none.’ The President advocated for multilateralism and international law to address global instability, while specifically highlighting the vulnerabilities of Small Island Developing States regarding climate change, economic uncertainty, and development financing.
