Briefing - International Agreements in Progress: Modernisation of the trade pillar of the EU-Chile Association Agreement - 18-12-2024

On 9 December 2022, 20 years after the signature of the EU-Chile Association Agreement in 2002, the EU and Chile reached an agreement in principle on a new EU-Chile Advanced Framework Agreement, which comprises modernised trade and political and cooperation pillars. Negotiations were launched in November 2017, based on a Council negotiating mandate, which was the first-ever to have been published prior to the start of negotiations. Although the trade pillar had operated smoothly and led to an expansion of bilateral trade in goods and services and investment, Chile and the EU agreed to broaden and deepen it to unlock untapped potential, break new ground and keep pace with new trade and investment patterns in a global competitive environment that has fundamentally changed with the growing global footprint of countries such as China. As the EU-Chile Advanced Framework Agreement (AFA) comprises provisions falling under both the EU's exclusive competence and shared competence with EU Member States, an EU-Chile interim trade agreement (iTA) was copied from the EU-Chile AFA to undergo an EU-only ratification process, while the EU-Chile AFA including its trade pillar will also have to be ratified by all EU Member States in accordance with their constitutional requirements. The former will expire, once the latter has entered into force. The agreements were signed on 13 December2023. On 29 February 2024, Parliament provided its consent to both. On 18 March 2024, the Council endorsed the EU-Chile iTA, which ends the EU-level ratification. Chile finalised the ratification of both agreements on 13 November 2024. Fourth edition. The 'International Agreements in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the process, from initial discussions through to ratification. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

Japan's first resident ambassador to Seychelles marks milestone in diplomatic relations

The President of Seychelles, Wavel Ramkalawan, welcomed Sakuta Makoto as the new Japanese Ambassador to Seychelles during a credential presentation ceremony held at State House on Tuesday. Ambassador Makoto is the first Japanese envoy to be stationed locally, marking a significant milestone in the bilateral relations between the two nations. According to a State House press statement, Ramkalawan congratulated Makoto on his appointment, highlighting the enduring friendship and robust cooperation between Seychelles and Japan. The President commended Japan for its «pivotal contributions» to Seychelles’ development over the years and expressed optimism about further enhancing the partnership. Makoto, expressing gratitude and honour in assuming the role, pledged to deepen the collaboration between the two countries. Discussions during the meeting focused on enhancing cooperation in key areas, including maritime security, fisheries, environmental conservation, and climate change. Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening ties for mutual prosperity. Japan established its Embassy in Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, on November 8, 2019. Previously, diplomatic representation was managed by a chargé d'affaires. The appointment of Ambassador Makoto underscores Japan’s growing commitment to its relationship with Seychelles. Madagascar seeks closer cooperation with Seychelles In a separate ceremony, the President also received Albert Camille Vital, the new Malagasy Ambassador to Seychelles, who presented his credentials also on Tuesday. Vital emphasised the longstanding relationship between Seychelles and Madagascar, noting that the Malagasy diaspora in Seychelles includes a great number of workers contributing to various sectors. “Seychelles and Madagascar’s relationship has always been a good one. We have a large diaspora in Seychelles with 2,000 Malagasy working in the country,” he stated during a press interview. Vital outlined plans to «consolidate and strengthen» the ties between the two nations and explore new areas of cooperation, including tourism, transport, trade, and agriculture. During his visit, Vital also held talks with Ambassador Selby Pillay, director for Bilateral Affairs in the Department of Foreign Affairs, at Maison Queau de Quinssy. They discussed plans to sign a bilateral agreement in 2025 and addressed the need for consular representation for Malagasy nationals in Seychelles. Both parties agreed to identify a suitable candidate to fill the position. Vital also met with members of the Malagasy community in Seychelles, who work in various sectors such as fisheries, education, medicine, and sports.
