Abuja, Nigeria, March 25, 2026 (PMO) —
Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew, delivered a forward-looking and deeply reflective address at the Afri-Caribbean Investment Summit today in Abuja, Nigeria, urging bold, action-oriented engagement to strengthen ties between Africa and the Caribbean.
Speaking under the theme “Caribbean Perspectives on Unity and Prosperity,” Prime Minister Drew emphasized that meaningful progress between the two regions must be grounded in deliberate action, strategic collaboration, and a shared commitment to turning historical connections into tangible opportunities for people.
The Prime Minister highlighted the critical role of visionary leadership in advancing this agenda, noting that efforts to deepen Africa-Caribbean relations may not always be immediately understood, but remain essential to long-term development and global positioning.
“For those who may not have understood, and even if they don’t understand now, I still forgive them. For I understand that the move is bold and it’s unapologetic.”
Dr. Drew explained that the initiative to engage Africa at this level is part of a broader mission to reconnect people linked by shared ancestry, history, and identity. He noted that the delegation from St. Kitts and Nevis, alongside representatives from the wider Caribbean, embodies not only participation but purpose bringing together talent, leadership, and opportunity to foster meaningful exchange and collaboration.
He further positioned St. Kitts and Nevis as an emerging bridge between Africa and the Caribbean, reaffirming the Government’s commitment to strengthening partnerships, expanding economic linkages, and advancing South-South cooperation.
Prime Minister Drew stressed that the current moment calls for courage, clarity, and decisive action, as both regions work toward a future defined by togetherness, prosperity, and shared progress.
The Afri-Caribbean Investment Summit continues to serve as a vital platform for dialogue, partnership building, and the advancement of a more connected and collaborative Afri-Caribbean future.
