Seychelles and Germany remain committed to strengthening bilateral and multilateral relations
H.E Mr. Sebastian Groth, the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Republic of Seychelles, called on the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Mr. Sylvestre Radegonde, at Maison Quéau de Quinssy on Tuesday 27th May 2025. Ambassador Groth gave Minister Radegonde an overview of the political landscape in Germany now that the country is under new leadership. Minister Radegonde congratulated the new Government for their victory and looked forward to working with the new administration to propel bilateral relations. Minister Radegonde took the opportunity to request Germany's assistance in advocating for Seychelles to be removed from the European Union's list of Non-Cooperation Jurisdictions on Tax Matters (Seychelles is currently on the EU grey list). He also enlisted Germany's support to push for the implementation of the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI), which was adopted during the United Nations General Assembly in August 2024. The two diplomats discussed training opportunities to build capacity in the fields of energy and climate change, tourism related issues including the flights to be undertaken by Discover Airlines, as well as international issues which have a direct or indirect impact on Seychelles and Germany.

The direct flights from Frankfurt to lesser known US cities this summer
Frankfurt is home to Germany's busiest airport which is also among Europe's biggest air travel hubs. As such there is no shortage of direct flights from there to major cities in the US. If you want to fly to New York, for example, there are five direct connections between the two cities every day. Chicago and San Francisco also get at least four direct flights from Frankfurt each day. But what if your home city, or the US city you want to visit, is further from the biggest fly-in destinations? Here are some of the smaller US destinations that you can fly to directly from Frankfurt this summer: Anchorage If you were planning to visit Alaska this year, you're in luck as there are a few weekly direct flights from Frankfurt that will take you there. Condor currently offers flights departing Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and starting in June Discover Airlines will operate a weekly flight that departs on Wednesday afternoons. The flight takes nine and half hours. Fort Myers There are two weekly flights to this city in Southwest Florida run by Discover Airlines on Thursday and Saturday. Portland If you want to find out just how weird the Pacifica Northwest can be, Condor can take you directly to Portland, Oregon on Sundays, Tuesdays or Fridays. Saint Louis This city at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers was once known as the "gateway to the West". Lufthansa flies there from Frankfurt on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays. READ ALSO: 9 of the best day trips from Frankfurt with the 'Deutschlandticket' Minneapolis Minneapolis is also on the Mississippi River, although quite a bit further north than St. Louis. Believe it or not, this little known Minnesota metropole was ranked among the happiest cities in the world according to an Institute for Quality of Life ranking (ahead of London and even sunny San Diego). If you want to see just how happy it is, Lufthansa flies there four times weekly; on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Advertisement Philadelphia In Germany Philadelphia is probably best known as a popular brand of cream cheese, but it's also the sixth largest US city. Flights here are operated by Discover, and they depart most days (except for Saturdays). LISTED: The new destinations you can fly to from Germany this spring Raleigh/Durham Raleigh is the capital of the state of North Carolina, which is home to its fair share of natural beauty in the form of forests, waterfalls and rolling hills. Raleigh is also home to branches of some major German firms, including BASF and Bayer -- which may explain why the city is served by direct flights to Frankfurt. Lufthansa serves five weekly flights here; on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays. Austin Austin is the capital of Texas, but it's known for having a vibe that is entirely its own. It's also arguably a cultural capital for the southern US with plenty of live music, comedy, festivals and yes, even rodeos to be found. Lufthansa offers flights here on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
