Seychelles says no to India’s proposal for naval base

What has happened?

India’s plans to get a foothold in the Indian Ocean islands of Seychelles received a setback after its President Danny Faure told Parliament earlier this week that he will not take up the Assomption island project deal with India for ratification

Why: Because the opposition leader said he would not back deal

This announcement came after Wavell John Charles Ramkalawan, the leader of the Opposition of Seychelles (an ethnic Indian), said that he would oppose the deal.

Failed outreach:Significantly, the leader of the Opposition was hosted here in January as India tried to get him on board for the key project, which was rejected by the Indian Ocean country earlier this week.
