18-Aug-2008The 8th Session of the Seychelles-Mauritius Commission on Bilateral Cooperation (SMCBC) ended on 10 July 2008. Both governments have agreed to support each other and strengthen cooperation, giving a boost to the bilateral relations.
Specific areas in which they agreed to work together include the Aid for Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement.
Both sides agreed that a strategic partnership between the two countries could be facilitated by the networks the countries are building including the EPA with the European Union and membership in both the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) that could offer preferential access to over half of Africa;
Mauritius also invited Seychelles to join the COMESA Fund to build a strategic relationship between the two countries and benefit more from regionalisation and globalisation initiatives.
