Acknowledging the long-standing unilateral relationship between ROC and the Federation

St. Kitts and Nevis have been working together over the past years to promote the human
resource development of the Federation, by way of the Human Resources development Project.
This is an annual programme that provides scholarships to the students in St. Kitts and Nevis,

the faculty of the schools in the Federation”.

“I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the scholarship awardees. This
scholarship is recognition of your [students] remarkable achievement in your studying. I believe
you will put the scholarship you received to good use and continue your good work in your
future studies.”

to the development of our nation’s human resource.
“The republic of China (Taiwan) has generously donated USD 120 00.00 to the Ministry of
Education. These funds are to be used to assist students with furthering their education. I firmly

partnership that the people of the Republic of China (Taiwan) continue to display year after year.
This high level of loyalty has not gone unnoticed. The Ministry of Education and the people of
our Federation are very grateful for your selfless contribution to the development of our people,
which is our greatest resource,” he said.
