The Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Dr Terrance Drew and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Denzil Douglas have concluded a successful international event in Santa Marta Colombia. The 4th CELAC- EU Summit was a platform for the international community to get together to discuss several important issues.
However, the international trips of the leaders have come under fire from the opposition, some social media outlets argue that the administration has travelling very constantly to various locations.
Talking about their previous expeditions, the publications argued that they have flown in quick succession across the world. According to the reports of these publications, Dr Terrance Drew and Dr Denzil Douglas have been travelling out of the island every week.
While it is clear that the publication has expressed their concern on the regular travel of the St Kitts and Nevis leaders, claiming that the leaders have been travelling every week is inaccurate as well as gross exaggeration.
Furthermore, it is very important to highlight that Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew’s visits are not leisure trips. The Prime Minister and his team have been making foreign trips with the aim of securing better relationships with the rest of the world.
The collaborations play a very important role in assisting the growth of the country in various sectors. Currently, Prime Minister Dr Drew is in Colombia and engaging health stakeholders of the country to leverage a way for the people of St Kitts and Nevis to access better healthcare with the assistance of Colombia.
The meetings with the stakeholders which are being done currently are an important part of securing better facilities for the people of the twin islands. The engagements which the Prime Minister and his team have been taking on are propelling the countyr in the direction of the administration’s Sustainable Island State Agenda.
The opposition backed sources have been making allegations saying that the leaders have been off island for no reason. While the truth of the matter is international diplomacy is extremely important to make sure St Kitts and Nevis can remain aligned with the rest of the world.
Such paces in diplomacy are only possible with constant engagement with partners and taking collaboration opportunities.
