St. Kitts and Nevis must use the next 25 years to maximise its potential in a global context, using the emerging regional Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) and the proposed Economic Union of the OECS as the building blocks to its future economic structure.

“Over the coming years, it is vital that we build a highly productive Service Economy, and in doing so create a strong entrepreneurial environment, empowering our men and women to become more creative in income generating projects, and at the same time, we must raise our standards to international levels,” St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas told close to 600 nationals at a 25th Anniversary Dinner and Ball in London on Saturday night.

Taiwan’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Excellency Javier Hou said St. Kitts and Nevis is a country with unlimited potentials.

“When I was in St. Kitts last week to attend the national independence celebration, I felt the vitality, optimism and diligence of the people. It is a country with limited potentials,” Hou is quoted in the Taipei Times, which carried a report on celebrations in Taiwan to mark the 25th anniversary of St. Kitts and Nevis of Independence.

St. Kitts and Nevis Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Legal Affairs, Hon. Dennis Merchant was in the Taiwanese capital to participate in the celebrations.
