President James Michel on behalf of the Government and the people of the Republic of Seychelles, conveyed congratulations on the landslide victory of the National League for Democracy (NDL) and to H.E. Aung San Suu Kyi, following the recent historical election in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

In a congratulatory message President Michel remarked that the people of Myanmar have placed their trust in Ms Suu Kyi  and the election was testament to her strength and will power demonstrated over many years in the face of countless challenges.

"Your struggles and promotion of both human values and human rights have captured the hearts of many people around the world including the people of Seychelles. I am certain that all these valuable qualities will inspire generations to come in Myanmar and will inevitably lead to the further development of your country for the benefit of your people," said President Michel.
