Sasirit Tangulrat was accredited as the new
ambassador of Thailand to Seychelles in a ceremony held at State House on
Tuesday.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted this
sector in both countries, so I believe that Thailand and Seychelles can learn
from each on how to move the tourism industry forward in a more sustainable
way," said the new ambassador.
Tangulrat, who is the ninth ambassador of
Thailand to be accredited to the Seychelles, an archipelago in the western
Indian Ocean, said she is looking forward to continue building the relationship
that exists between the two countries.
"I think Thailand and Seychelles have
many things in common, one of which is that both economies rely heavily on
tourism," said Tangulrat.
The new ambassador will be based in Nairobi,
Kenya and during her stay in Seychelles she is expected to meet with
representatives from various ministries.
"This year actually marks the 33rd
anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries and during that
time we have enjoy very cordial relations and I just want to say that during my
term as ambassador I will do my utmost to strengthen the relationship between
our two countries," she said.
The Seychelles-Thailand partnership has been a
long-standing one, where one of the main points of cooperation is the joint
venture between Seychelles and Thai Union, namely the Indian Ocean Tuna Limited
(IOT), the biggest food processing factory in Seychelles.
