Lost in Translation?

The Chief Press Secretary in the Office of the President, Srdjana Janosevic emailed Le Seychellois Hebdo to complain about our lead article, “The Red Army is coming.”

The article refers to an interview the foreign minister, Jean-Paul Adam gave to the international press about the government’s invitation for the Chinese navy to set up a military base here.

Ms Janosevic claimed the AFP made a mistake in quoting the minister whilst translating their story from French to English.
