The Right Honourable, Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, the Minister with oversight for the
Ministry of International Trade, Industry, Commerce and Consumer Affairs, had
the privilege to formally launch and endorse the Regulatory Infrastructure for
Radiation Safety and Nuclear Security (RISS) Advisory Mission of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to St. Kitts and Nevis. This occasion
took place at the Ministry of Agriculture Conference Room, La Guerite from 03rd
April – 06th April 2023. Participants were drawn from the St. Kitts and Nevis
Police Force, Customs and Excise Department, Ross University, The Biometric
Unit Ministry of Health, St. Kitts and Nevis Bureau of Standards, and many other
Stakeholders.

In delivering his Feature Address, the Honorable Minister highlighted the purpose
of RISS which is to advise and support countries in establishing or improving their
regulatory infrastructure for the safety of radiation sources and the security of
radioactive material. He explained that St. Kitts and Nevis became not only a
member, but a responsible State in the International Community of the agency on
09th February 2022. He gave the commitment that St. Kitts and Nevis is prepared
to fulfill its obligations as a State Party and welcomed technical assistance from the
IAEA. He also commended the Agency for not only offering technical assistance,
but also providing support especially in thematic areas of agriculture, health, and
water, all of which are critical for the development of St. Kitts and Nevis.
