St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party condemns PM Harris for not attending ninth Summit of the Americas

St Kitts and Nevis: St Kitts and Nevis Labour party criticized Prime Minister Timothy Harris for his absence at the Ninth Summit of the Americas. 

The party stated that not choosing to attend the Summit, which is important for the country and the entire Caribbean region, has turned out to be a major diplomatic failure on the part of the current administration. 

US President, Joe Biden, has recently hosted multiple Caribbean Heads of Government at the Ninth Summit of the Americas, which was held Friday in Los Angeles. But where was Prime Minister Harris? Once again, he chose not to attend the Summit, which presents a major diplomatic failure on the part of the current administration.

Another day, another diplomatic failure for St. Kitts and Nevis, all thanks to Prime Minister Timothy Harris. After unveiling the failures of our judicial system just a few days ago—the resignation of 3 senior Crown Counsels from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP)—it is now time for the spotlight to be shone on our Foreign Affairs office.

Every single Caribbean nation Head of Government was represented at the Ninth Summit of the Americas, except St. Kitts and Nevis. Another opportunity lost; another round of financing gone with the wind.

This is Prime Minister Harris’ legacy…Turning our nation from a once-respected Caribbean regional power to a country everyone in the region now forgets about. It only took him 7 years.

Political Leader of the SKNLP, Dr. Terrance Drew gives an assurance to the people of St. Kitts and Nevis that Better is coming with a St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party Government Administration.

It is a sad point for democracy in St. Kitts and Nevis for all people, but the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party understands the dilemmas and difficulties you face in trying to advance yourselves.

“St. Kitts-Nevis Labour will make sure you can fulfill your dreams,”he said.
