We live and serve in an era filled with challenges that confront us from every angle of the development spectrum. Success depends largely on our response to these challenges. I am confident that with your leadership, Trinidad and Tobago will continue to grow from strength to strength thereby elevating your people, and by extension, the wider region.
May God continue to bless you and the good people of Trinidad and Tobago as you endeavor to meet your development objectives.”
