Addressing those gathered at the Astor Ballroom at the St. Regis Dubai, Prime Minister Harris thanked the citizens for their investment in the twin island Federation and encouraged them to make greater investments in the country. Dr. Harris urged them to visit the federation and to be more active participants in the socio-economic life of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The prime minister also updated those in attendance of the various developments currently taking place here in St. Kitts and Nevis that will redound to the overall development of the federation.

Speaking with the Press Unit in the Office of the Prime Minister, Mr. Hawley described the atmosphere at Tuesday’s social gathering as “electric”, and noted that those in attendance were really impressed by the prime minister’s remarks.
He stated that citizens residing in Dubai have since reached out to him to learn more about how they can contribute to the development of St. Kitts and Nevis through their respective fields and expertise.
The Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis presented Range Developments with an award of appreciation for its continued contributions to the country’s CBI programme.
