India thanks Seychelles for rescuing 17 fishermen
India on Thursday, 1 October, thanked the government of Seychelles for the swift rescue of 17 Indian fishermen whose boat suffered an engine failure in the high seas off the coast of the archipelago nation. External affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on X that the assistance was 'swift and life-saving' and reflected the close bonds of friendship between the two countries.
The fishermen were aboard the IFB Sajira. Jaiswal shared photos of the vessel and the rescued men. The statement reaffirmed both nations' shared commitment to the safety and well-being of their people.
