DSC message on International Day of Peace 2021 |22 September 2021

‘We seriously need to reflect on the importance of peace’ – Hon. Clifford Andre

“On the occasion of the International Day of Peace (September 21, 2021), the Defence and Security Committee (DSC) of the National Assembly joins hands with President Wavel Ramkalawan and the Commissioner of Police, Ted Barbe, in wishing first, the Seychellois people and secondly the Seychelles Police Force and all law enforcement units, a Happy International Peace Day.

“As we celebrate this day as a peaceful Nation, we seriously need to reflect on the importance of peace and together see how best we can promote such sentiment for love within all structures of our society necessary for the prosperity of our people.

“This goes well with the United Nations theme of ‘Recovering Better for a Sustainable and Equitable World’, especially in these times of the Covid-19 whereby so much pain has been endured through the loss of lives and economic difficulties at all levels and how dependent we must be on each other should we want to make it through and survive this pandemic.

“This togetherness in peace is the only unquestionable way of bringing much harmony among our people and prosperity for our beloved country, Seychelles. Coincidently, as it is also the Seychelles Police Day, we call on the Seychelles Police Force, which has a significant role in establishing a climate of peace, to ensure that the foundation of Law and Order is maintained, through the highest professionalism. Their exemplary service of spreading peace and love will no doubt contribute immensely in educating and fulfilling the desirable peaceful reconciliation of the people of Seychelles.

“Again, Happy International Day of Peace. God bless our country!

Hon. Clifford Andre

Chairperson of the Defence & Security Committee of the National Assembly
