Israel–Seychelles relations refer to the bilateral relationship between the State of Israel and the Republic of Seychelles. The Israeli embassy in Nairobi, Kenya is accredited to Seychelles.[1] Seychelles has an honorary consul in Tel Aviv, named Arie Goldstein.[2]
Relations between the State of Israel and the Republic of Seychelles were officially established in 1992, after the end of the boycott of the Sub-Saharan African countries.[1]
The economic relations between Israel and Seychelles are small and modest, with tourism as the most important co-operation between the countries.[3] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Seychelles has opened the country for Israelis only, since the fact that during the first wave, Israel was a safe country with low rate of infection.[4]
