Giving welcome remarks at the Opening Ceremony of Diplomatic Week 2019 at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort on April 9, 2019, Minister Brantley, who is also the Premier of Nevis, asked attendees at the opening ceremony “to stand to observe one minute’s silence in memory of their service in their respective diplomatic or consular sphere of duty.”
