Published 29 April 2017

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, April 29, 2017 (PLP PR Media Inc.) — As persistent showers characterised St. Kitts’ Atlantic coast early Saturdaymorning April 29, scores of health conscious and walk enthusiasts journeyed to Belle Vue where they joined Prime Minister and Political Leader of the Peoples Labour Party (PLP) Dr the Hon Timothy Harris for his monthly Constituency #7 health walk.

The first walkers had arrived a few minutes to the usual starting time of 5:30 am, but because of the poor weather the majority came slightly later which saw them set off at 5:56 am following a prayer by one of the PLP’s prayer warriors, Mr Erickson Wescott.

St Kitts and Nevis Commemorates Commonwealth Day: Foreign Minister Brantley Highlights the Commonwealth’s Critical Relevance

Published 27 Marcy 2017

As the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis joins with the other 51 Commonwealth Member countries across the world to commemorate Commonwealth Day 2017, under the theme “A peace-building Commonwealth”, it gives me great pleasure as the Minister of Foreign Affairs to speak to the importance of our Commonwealth membership at this time.

The organization known as Commonwealth is still quite relevant today, for us particularly as a Small Island Developing State. As we continue to work towards carving out our space in the international community, whilst striving to improve the lives of our citizens through new and diverse opportunities, the bonds we share and the bridges we are able to build with our Commonwealth siblings is increasingly important. The avenues of interdependence, mutual exchange and collective action through which we are able to collaborate continue to unite us.
