The Permanent Mission of St. Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations joins over 190 member countries as they strive to facilitate systems where partnerships, collective responsibility and respect for each other are allowed to flourish. It is a medium through which member states realize that national policies in a global economy have international consequences.

It is with pride that my staff and I serve as advocates for our people, mindful that we are world citizens who must also thrive peacefully among our brothers and sisters in a world where despite our profound differences, our commonalities are an indication of our shared hopes and dreams.

We look to the United Nations as the torchbearer for globalization, seeking to level the playing field for member states and providing equal opportunities for all nations.
