PM Drew outlines vision for SKN’s sustainable development

St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew says his administration hopes to transform the twin-island federation into a sustainable small island state.

Speaking during a visit to the United Kingdom for the Coronation Ceremony of King Charles III on the weekend, the prime minister who engaged other world leaders expressed the need for partnership act support to move the country forward without the limiting concept of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita.

He also discussed upcoming geothermal projects and the vision to expand fisheries within the Federation.

Following the coronation ceremony, the prime minister and others were invited to the Church House adjacent to Westminster Abbey, where the UK Foreign Secretary hosted a reception.

While meeting with officials, the Prime Minister said his government plans to establish a task force charged with animating appropriate strategic approaches to address the ongoing water issues, renewables, developing mechanisms to manage sustainably the Federation’s marine resources, and forge, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, partnerships to achieve those strategic, targeted, and measurable goals.

Drew further maximized the opportunity to share information on his approach to universal healthcare and asked for support from the United Nations in prioritizing healthcare access across the Caribbean.
