Leader of Government Commissioner Sarah Wescot-Williams, extends congratulations to the people and government of the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis on their 25th Independence Day celebration.
The Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis became an independent country from the United Kingdom on 19 September 1983.
"The celebration of another anniversary of the independence of St. Kitts & Nevis provides an ideal opportunity to reflect on the achievements of a people.
"The people and Government of St. Maarten are proud of the achievements of our brethren and of what they have been able to secure. Securing the independence of a nation is a defining moment signaling the fall of colonial rule and often times that of outright exploitation.
"The attainment of independence for a nation remains and will always be, an outstanding landmark in the long history of struggles of people for freedom. My best wishes to the people and government of St. Kitts & Nevis on their 25th independence celebration," Leader of Government Commissioner Sarah Wescot-Williams told the Government Information Service (GIS).
