President Danny Faure has sent a message of congratulations to Antonio Luis Santos da Costa upon his re-election as the Prime Minister of Portugal.
鈥淵our re-election reaffirms your previous success in upholding economic growth, stability and equality for the people of Portugal,鈥� conveyed President Faure.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Seychelles and Portugal have shared a fruitful and amicable relations, and 鈥渋t is my hope that we can further enhance this relationship during your renewed mandate as Prime Minister,鈥� added President Faure.
The Socialist Party of Portuguese Prime Minister Ant贸nio Costa scored a comfortable victory in Sunday鈥檚 general election but failed to secure an absolute majority in parliament.
The result opens up the possibility of a renewal of Costa鈥檚 partnership with parties on the far left, which has allowed a Socialist minority government to rule for the past four years.
