Commonwealth Secretary-General visit to Seychelles

27 January 2004

 Don Mckinnon
Commonwealth Secretary-General Don McKinnon and President France Albert René
Commonwealth Secretary-General Don McKinnon visited the Seychelles from 28 to 30 January 2004, where he met President France Albert René, Vice-President James Michel and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jérémie Bonnelame.

The Secretary-General’s discussions in Seychelles covered regional and international developments, Commonwealth assistance programmes and co-operation with Seychelles.

Mr McKinnon also held consultations with the Seychelles Minister of Education and Youth, Danny Faure. The talks  focused on implementation of decisions made by Commonwealth education ministers at their meeting in October 2003, in particular the development of appropriate and ethical codes of conduct in cross-country teacher recruitment.

The 15th Conference of Commonwealth Education Ministers established a working group on cross-country teacher recruitment to develop appropriate and ethical codes of conduct. Seychelles is a member of the working group, which will meet in Lesotho in February 2004.
