Diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Seychelles were established on June 30, 1976[1]. China began providing Seychelles with diplomatic aide in 1977, including things such as constructing a poly-technical school and developing housing project in Les Mamelles. In 2002, China exported USD 1.48 million worth of goods, while importing only $100,000 from Seychelles. The current Chinese ambassador to Seychelles is Wang Weiguo[2], who heads the embassy in Saint Louis, on the island of Mahe. The current ambassador to China from Seychelles is Philippe Le Gall[3].

In 2011 the Seychelles government offered to China the possibility of establishing a port in Seychelles to supply ships fighting piracy off the coast of Somalia.[4]
