Manama, Bahrain: The President of the Republic, Mr Danny Faure, concluded his State Visit in the Kingdom of Bahrain with a reception hosted for members of the Seychellois Community currently living and working in the Kingdom of Bahrain this afternoon.

Most of the Seychellois in Bahrain are predominantly working with the Royal Family, and there are others engaged in private businesses.

The reception was an opportunity for them to formally meet President Faure and share their experiences and personal views with the Head of State. The event was also a chance for the Seychellois in Bahrain to come together and meet each other.

Prior to the reception, the President also met with two officials of the Seychelles Peoples Defense Forces (SPDF) currently in Manama, Bahrain as part of the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) coalition involving a 33-nation naval partnership. Lt. Luigi Loizeau from the Seychelles Coast Guards and Lt.
