Prime Minister Harris said he was heartened to welcome home St. Kitts and Nevisโ Heads of Missions and Honorary Consuls โwho continue to give yeomanโs service to our country in their respective jurisdictions.โ
The Prime Minister continued, โThank you for your unwavering efforts in helping us to not only ย expand the diplomatic footprint of St. Kitts and Nevis, but also ensuring that our nationals in the Diaspora have someone to turn to in times of difficulty, concern or need. I say thank you for living up to our countryโs motto, โCountry Above Self,โ as you continue to serve thousands of miles away from your families, and in climates that differ considerably to the tropical climate we enjoy year-round in this twin-island paradise.โ
Dr. Harris, who served for eight years (2001 to 2008) as Minister of Foreign Affairs, further pledged the support of his Team Unity Government to the men and women of the diplomatic and consular corps โas you continue to enhance our relations in the global theatre so that they may yield even more positive and tangible results nationally.โ
To the resident and non-resident high representatives on hand in celebration of Diplomatic Week 2019, the honourable prime minister said, โWe highly appreciate the very friendly relationships with all our diplomatic partners and your efforts to strengthen these bonds of friendship. We look forward to creating new and expanding opportunities for cooperation.โ
