Seychelles Becomes a UN Member State

September 21st, 1976 48 years ago

Seychelles joined the United Nations, marking its commitment to global cooperation and international relations. The application for membership was made in 1975, after gaining independence from Britain the previous year. Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, has a population of approximately 60,000. This significant decision reflects the young nation's aspirations in global governance and economic development, transitioning from colonial rule to active participation in international diplomacy.
