St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr Denzil Douglas and newly-elected Premier of Nevis, Joseph Parry pledged Tuesday to work closely for the continued economic development of the Island of Nevis and the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Welcoming Premier Parry and his Cabinet Secretary, Ashley Farrell at the Prime Minister’s Office in Basseterre, Dr Douglas used the opportunity at the first formal contact since the Nevis Island Administration Elections to extend heartiest congratulations again on behalf of the Federal Government and the people of St Kitts and Nevis.
Douglas noted the pronouncements and statements of Premier Parry since he has assumed the mantle of leadership on Nevis.
Douglas also noted an earlier public statement by Parry that one of his priorities at this time is to continue the economic development of Nevis.
Premier Parry gave Prime Minister Douglas the assurance that his (NRP) Administration “intends to work very closely with the Federal Administration - the Federal Government in the interest of the people of Nevis and the people of St Kitts and Nevis.
He said although the recent Election was a hard fought campaign, “it was a lot of fun, and we are thankful that the people of Nevis have settled down very quickly, and people are ready for work and we have hit the ground and we are running.”
Premier Parry also took the opportunity to present Prime Minister Douglas with two copies of the Nevis Reformation Party 2006 Manifesto.
