Seychelles and South Africa are exploring opportunities for cultural exchange programmes for artists to participate in festivals and exhibitions in both countries and share expertise in arts, crafts, fashion and performance. According to a press statement from the Seychelles National Institute for Culture, Heritage and the Arts (SNICHA) the discussion took place on the sidelines of the 11th Golden Shield Heritage Awards recently at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa. A delegation from the SNICHA led by the permanent secretary for Culture, Cecile Kalebi, participated in the award ceremony. The visit is part of the ongoing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Seychelles and South Africa's National Heritage Council, to enhance cultural collaboration and exchange. In her remarks at the ceremony, Kalebi reflected on the deep cultural and historical ties between Seychelles and the African continent. She also acknowledged the Golden Shield Heritage Awards as a beacon of excellence in recognising the dedication of heritage activists and practitioners. «Coming from Seychelles, a small island nation in the Indian Ocean with deep cultural and historical ties to the African continent, I am deeply inspired by the achievements being honoured today,» she said. Kalebi revealed that the SNICHA is organising its own Heritage Awards next year, taking inspiration from South Africa's commitment to honouring cultural preservation. She expressed her optimism for the continued collaboration between Seychelles and South Africa, particularly in exchanging expertise and building upon their common history. Beyond the award ceremony, the Seychelles delegation held a series of meetings aimed at strengthening cultural cooperation between cultural institutions in South Africa and Seychelles. Among the key engagements was a meeting at the National Arts Council of South Africa. Discussions centered on the renewal of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the National Arts Councils of South Africa and Seychelles. The renewal would focus on enhancing artistic collaboration, facilitating cultural exchanges, and jointly promoting both nations' rich artistic traditions. Also discussed were initiatives to exchange knowledge and expertise in the areas of arts management and ways to provide more support for artists, helping them gain international exposure and access to resources and networks. Another highlight of the visit was a tour of the Cape Heritage Museum at the Castle of Good Hope, where the Seychelles delegation discussed future collaborations in museum management, exhibitions, and cultural preservation.

Over the past decade, corridors have occupied an increasingly important place in international connectivity initiatives. They take several forms, ranging from 'simpler' transport corridors to more complex economic corridors. For them to be successful, several conditions need to be in place, both relative to the participating countries and to the wider regions they connect. Once operational, they can bring various benefits to participating countries, both economic and societal. India has had a two-pronged policy in recent years. On the one hand, it is investing increasingly in national infrastructure projects, such as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. On the other, it is part of several major international infrastructure projects. Three such projects that stand out are the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor, the International North-South Transport Corridor and the more recent India-Middle East-Europe Corridor. According to experts, India's approach towards international connectivity appears to be driven more by geostrategic sensitivities than purely economic considerations. Broadly, Delhi chooses to participate in projects that help to increase its regional and global footprint. It also takes into consideration the fact that Asia is a region with several nuclear powers, rising nationalism and the absence of a security structure. Its choices are further conditioned by Chinese initiatives in the region, US policy towards China, and developments following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The EU and India have long-standing diplomatic ties. In recent years, owing to both rising trade volumes and geopolitical considerations, they have increased their cooperation further. Aspects of this cooperation are the revival of negotiations on a free trade agreement, the launch of a Trade and Technology Council and the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC). Once completed, these three initiatives could bring significant synergies to the parties involved. IMEC is facing several challenges, however, both logistical and geopolitical, that could delay its implementation. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

The fifth day of Pritam Singh's trial unfolded in the State Courts on Friday (Oct 18), where the defence continued their cross-examination of Loh Pei Ying. Loh was secretarial assistant to former Workers' Party (WP) Member of Parliament Raeesah Khan. After pressing Loh on whether she had advised Khan to keep up with the lie the latter had told in Parliament, the trial took on a lighter tone. Bringing up a meeting on Nov 25, 2021, defence lawyer Andre Jumabhoy asked Loh if she had told the WP disciplinary panel that Khan was «naive and stupid». The phrase appeared in the notes taken during the meeting by WP chair Sylvia Lim. «I can't remember if I used those terms, but I definitely would have said naive,» Loh answered, adding it was possible she had said Khan was stupid. She also said she thought that Khan was «sometimes» self-centred. On Nov 30, 2021, five days after the meeting, the WP announced that Khan had resigned from the party.  Jumabhoy then asked Loh if she would describe Khan as «lao hong», while spelling the Hokkien term out in court.
