June 8, 2009 -- President James Michel is attending the 13th summit of the Common
Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) in the Zimbabwean town of Victoria Falls this week.
Nineteen heads of state are expected to attend the summit titled "Consolidating
Regional Integration through Value Addition, Trade and Food Security".
The President has stated that Seychelles recent reforms mean that our islands are
well placed to benefit from enhanced integration, although he will also continue
to highlight the specificities of small island states.
"The recent world crisis brings many challenges, but also opens up certain opportunities
for developing countries. Through regional groupings such as COMESA, small islands
such as Seychelles can also ensure that regional integration initiatives do not
ignore key vulnerabilities and specificities," he said before leaving Seychelles.
The summit has drawn more than 1,000 delegates from the COMESA countries, the Southern
African Development Community, the African Union, the Commonwealth, the United Nations,
the European Union, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
