The exchange is the latest in a series of political barbs between the Congress and the ruling BJP over the legacy of previous governments and the attribution of achievements in India&#039;s diplomatic and environmental engagements. Prime Minister Modi&#039;s visit to Seychelles has focused on strengthening bilateral ties in areas including maritime security, climate action, sustainable development, digital connectivity and the blue economy. During the visit, he also received Seychelles&#039; highest honour for environmental conservation and sustainable development and held talks with the country&#039;s leadership aimed at deepening the strategic partnership between the</news:title><news:keywords>Chandni Chowk Nagrik Manch, Praveen Shankar Kapoor</news:keywords></news:news>
