He also complimented Seychelles for “successfully co-hosting, with the UAE, the special high level event on the ‘Blue Economy’ in January 2014 to draw international attention to the need for harnessing the development potential of the oceans”. The King expressed his appreciation for “the pivotal role played by Seychelles as part of the regional effort to restore democracy and political normalcy in the sister country of Madagascar”.
