On 15th August 2026, Chinese Ambassador Lin Nan attended a joint eco-volunteer activity celebrating China’s National Ecology Day, co-hosted by the Embassy and the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority (SPGA). More than 30 participants were present, including Mr. Denis Matatiken, Special Advisor to the Minister of the Ministry of Environment, Ms Lya Docteur, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of SPGA, and young diplomats from the Embassy.

Ambassador Lin said that China adheres to the principle “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” to advance green, low-carbon development. Seychelles leads in blue economy initiatives and also in green ecological protection. The two countries enjoy broad prospects for cooperation. Onsite, participants planted 50 Lantanier feuilles plants and cleared invasive species to rehabilitate the island’s ecosystems, cementing the green friendship between our two countries. China stands ready to deepen ecological cooperation with Seychelles and jointly safeguard our shared homeland.
