India has indicated that it remains open to reviving the Assumption Island project in Seychelles if the island nation chooses to raise the matter.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that New Delhi would be receptive should Seychelles bring up the project, which has been stalled due to domestic politics on the island. The Assumption Island development has long been viewed through the lens of maritime cooperation.
The project has been a sensitive issue in Seychelles, where it has faced political resistance over questions of sovereignty and the presence of foreign facilities.
India’s measured stance leaves the initiative open for future discussion while placing the decision in the hands of Seychelles, reflecting the diplomatic delicacy surrounding the proposal.
