Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he remains grateful for recent recognition as one of the Caribbean\u2019s most influential leaders, despite questions surrounding the origin of the publication.<\/p>

Speaking on his Browne and Browne<\/em> radio show, Mr Browne acknowledged that the feature\u2014carried by the Washington Times<\/em>\u2014may not have been an editorial by the newspaper itself, but said that did not diminish the value of the acknowledgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether it came directly from them or through syndication, I\u2019m thankful,\u201d he said. \u201cThe real focus should be on results.\u201d<\/p>

The Prime Minister credited his administration\u2019s consistent performance over the past decade for attracting such international attention. He cited improvements in infrastructure, economic growth, and social development as evidence of effective leadership.<\/p>

Browne added that global recognition is not new, referencing previous international assessments of Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s economic and governance record.<\/p>\n
