BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, FEBRUARY 7TH 2006 (CUOPM) The new Director of the Organisation of American States (OAS) Office in St. Kitts and Nevis, Mr. Starret Greene is promising to give the Federation all the assistance it can in shaping the new national economy.
Mr. Greene, responding to words of welcome from St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister, the Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, said he was delighted to be a part of the OAS activities in the Federation.
He noted that the Federal Cabinet was recently given a presentation by the OAS Office of Trade Tourism Competitiveness on the governments initiative to establish a National Investment Promotion Agency and he has already written to Ambassador Her Excellency Roslyn Hazelle and is eager to see the OAS respond positively to this initiative.
Mr. Greene gave the assurance that he will devote his energies to ensure the fulfillment of that request.The OAS official said the Governments decision to close the sugar industry and transit from sugar production, sounds familiar as the country of his birth, Antigua and Barbuda, made that decision many, many years ago when his father was a cane cutter and labourer for many years.
I know what that is doing to the psyche of the people, but I can assure you that through the Department of Integral Development, the OAS has already begun to prepare initiatives as a response to this development and that is going to be one of my major responsibilities, Prime Minister, said Mr. Greene.
He said he was delighted that Prime Minister Douglas has placed confidence in the OAS to assist St. Kitts and Nevis, the Sugar Transition Office and the related ministries in areas where assistance would be needed.
