he Right Honourable Dr. Denzil Llewellyn Douglas, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade, Industry, Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Economic Development and Investment, highlighted the achievements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2024, during his support for the 2025 Budget Debate on Friday, December 20, 2024.
In 2024, St. Kitts and Nevis further strengthened its diplomatic ties, formalising relations with Pakistan, Cape Verde, Palau, Lebanon, and Comoros. A Visa Waiver Agreement with Kazakhstan was also signed, easing travel for citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Looking to 2025, Dr. Douglas said that the ministry will expand its diplomatic relations with African and Middle Eastern nations, promote economic growth through investments in renewable energy, tourism, and climate resilience, and empower the diaspora through enhanced consular services and engagement initiatives.
He added that the ministry’s ongoing efforts will continue to strengthen St. Kitts and Nevis’ position as a trusted global partner while contributing to the nation’s sustainable development and prosperity.
