Barbuda is set to gain greater integration into Antigua and Barbuda’s national framework through a new initiative led by Ambassador Clarence Pilgrim, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Barbuda Affairs.
Pilgrim announced the creation of a Barbuda Affairs Department to streamline government services and address neglect. He emphasized the Cabinet’s directive to ensure Barbuda’s full integration into national administration.
During discussions, local staff highlighted the need for training to match skills with counterparts in St. John’s. Pilgrim pledged support, including training on the ‘free-balance’ accounting system critical for treasury operations.
Recognizing the value of local insights, Pilgrim encouraged staff input and promised more frequent visits to Barbuda to support the initiative’s success.
