Prime Minister calls for election of St Vincent and the Grenadiers to UN Security Council

3

Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, has called on global governments to support the election on June 7 of St Vincent and the Grenadines to the Security Council of the United Nations.

The Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister declared that “small states merit a seat at the highest decision-making council of the international community, particularly as, increasingly, globally issues impact their welfare and even their very existence”.

Prime Minister Browne stated that “the small size of countries is no obstacle to their valuable contribution to resolving conflicts and advancing economic growth and development”.  He said that “the history of the UN is replete with initiatives, led by small countries, from which the world has benefitted”.

“In the specific case of St Vincent and the Grenadines, the government, under the leadership of Dr Ralph Gonsalves, has been a voice of reason on Caribbean, hemispheric and international issues, and my government is confident that it will bring both balance and cogent arguments to decision-making in the Security Council”.

“It has been some time since a Caribbean small state has sat on the Security Council to represent the interests of peoples who otherwise are without a voice.   St Vincent and the Grenadines is a worthy representative, and my government calls on all others to give their full support to its election”.

  1. One dictator batting for another ……WOW. The UN security council member countries would be out of their minds. They need to be watchful and mindful of the wolves in sheep clothing that takes monies to support China, Russia and Venezuela in this western hemisphere.

  2. The voice of The Comrade needs to be heard in the UN, loud and clear. Socialist solidarity forever! Forward Ever! Backwards Never!

  3. Hmmm. Don’t think I am familiar with these “Grenadiers”‘ Thanks for my chuckle of the day.
