The St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister also reflected on the theme chosen to celebrate the country’s 55th Independence anniversary,“Celebrating Jamaicans at home and abroad.”  He said, “It is quite a sober one, focusing on the need to highlight the achievements of Jamaicans in the homeland and in the Diaspora, using your individual and collective accomplishments as a solid platform on which to build your nation’s future development course.”

 

Dr. Harris told Prime Minister Holness that he looks forward to continue working with him at the level of CARICOM, the OAS, Commonwealth and the United Nations “as we tackle the numerous challenges confronting us as Small Island Developing States in pursuit of our development objectives.”
