The Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Dr Terrance Drew, recently met the Premier of Nevis, Mark Brantley and the resident Ambassador of the Republic of China, Taiwan. The Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis was a part of the meeting where the Taiwanese Ambassador handed the NIA a cheque for developing the Pinney’s Beach Sustainable Tourism Enhancement Project in Nevis.

The cheque amounted to US$250,000. The resident Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) presented the cheque to the federal government of St Kitts and Nevis.

The cheque was presented by the Resident Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to St Kitts and Nevis, Michael Chau-Horng Lin, to the Prime Minister of the country, Dr Terrance Drew.

The Republic of China (Taiwan) is one of St Kitts and Nevis’s most promising partners in the international community. They have made significant contributions towards the various developmental initiatives of St Kitts and Nevis. The Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Dr Terrance Drew and the Premier of Nevis both extended their deepest gratitude to the Republic of China (Taiwan) for forwarding their assistance for the various initiatives of St Kitts and Nevis.
