President Mohamed Nasheed met yesterday with Honorary Consul to the Maldives in Seychelles, Lambert Bonne.

The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral relations between the countries, especially in the areas of tourism and fisheries.

President Nasheed said forging a stronger link between small island states would give a louder voice to those states in the international arena.

Bonne assured his full cooperation towards strengthening ties between the two nations and briefed President Nasheed on the economic situation in Seychelles.
