Mr. Parry was at the time delivering the feature address at the one day consultation under the theme: “Facing the Challenges of a small Nation State through the Innovative use of Limited Resources,” held at the Four Seasons Resort, Tuesday, 7th October.
Mr. Parry said that the coming together and sharing of ideas by the private and public sector in Nevis can help chart the course for the coming years of activities.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Laurie Lawrence, in his opening remarks, reminded the gathering that the Hon.
