Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis, November 29, 2022 [Press Secretary’s Office]: Prime Minister of St.
Kitts and Nevis, the Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew, will conduct his first working visit to Dubai in the
United Arab Emirates from Tuesday 29th November 2022 to Saturday 3rd December 2022.
The Prime Minister will be accompanied by the Minister of Tourism, Hon. Marsha Henderson; the
Attorney-General, Hon. Garth Wilkin; the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Marcus Natta; Mr. Sylvester
Anthony and Ms. Veira Galloway.
The visit provides an opportunity for St Kitts and Nevis to show the world that it is open for business
and is ready to attract investors who seek mutually beneficial partnerships with the nation.
The Prime Minister will identify new areas of collaboration in advancing economic recovery and
stability and reaffirming the solid foundation between the two countries.
The Embassy of St Kitts and Nevis will host an exclusive cocktail event on Thursday, 1 st
December 2022 for investors, citizens, and business partners to meet the Prime Minister and his
delegation.
Dubai has successfully positioned itself as a world-class financial hub. The multicultural city has two-
thirds of the world’s population within reach on flights of eight hours or less, allowing it to serve as
a nexus for the East and West, along with being in the heart of the Africa-Middle East-Asia triangle.
Dubai’s rapid growth, strategic location, and favourable business culture have led it to gain the
reputation of being the world’s most sought-after business hub.
The Prime Minister’s visit comes at a time when the economies of many countries are affected by
the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and by the consequences of the Ukraine-Russia
conflict.
The visit is also aimed at deepening relationships with important stakeholders including
international investors and government-approved agents, who play a vital role in promoting and
supporting the country’s recently upgraded Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme.
