India on Monday (February 9, 2026) announced $175 million as development assistance to Seychelles after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held wide-ranging talks with the island nation's President Patrick Herminie.
The two sides also agreed on a broad vision to expand cooperation in areas of sustainability, trade and economy and security.
Mr. Herminie is on a six-day visit to India.
Seychelles is a key maritime neighbour for India in the Indian Ocean Region.
"India and Seychelles are connected not just by geography, but by history, trust and a shared vision for the future," Mr. Modi said in his media statement.
