President sends message of congratulations following appointment of Seychelles' Speaker of the National Assembly as the President of SADC Parliamentary Forum

President Wavel Ramkalawan, on behalf of the country and on his personal behalf has sent a message of congratulations to the Speaker of the National Assembly following his election as the President of  SADC Parliamentary Forum. Speaker Mancienne will subsequently serve a two year mandate, from 2023 to 2024 as the SADC PF President. 
 
"The election of the Speaker of the Seychelles National Assembly, Honourable Roger Mancienne represents a moment of pride for Seychelles. It is an achievement which shows that Seychelles plays a prominent leadership role in regional and international affairs. SADC PF being the  association of Parliaments of 16 member countries of SADC I have no doubt that Speaker Mancienne, in his new capacity will continue to advance key regional issues and be a guide for members of Parliament in Seychelles and member states of the Southern African Development Community. His election comes at a time when SADC PC is being transformed into the SADC Parliament. I wish him and the National Assembly success in the tasks ahead. "
