So says St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas.

“My presence in any country around the world where there are large groups of our people has and will always be used to inform them of developments at home and importantly to hear from them what they are thinking so that their thoughts, their suggestions and ideas can form part of the body of opinion that impacts positively on policy development and formulation here in St. Kitts and Nevis,” said Prime Minister Douglas in response to questions from reporters at a recent news conference.

“There are also consular matters that nationals also bring to my attention and the attention of other ministers and their concerns give us the basis to have talks aimed at resolving those issues with officials of the host country through diplomatic channels,” said Dr. Douglas.
