Prime Minister of St. Lucia, the Honourable Allen Chastanet, in an interview on CNBC which aired this morning, talks about the impact of Hurricane Maria on Dominica, rebuilding the hard-hit Caribbean after recent storms left some islands devastated. Also the Prime Minister, who is the current OECS Chairman, addresses insurance coverage and building new trade relationships with the United States.
The Prime Minister is currently attending UNGA 72 and is expected to address the United Nations on Friday 22nd September. I will be forwarding you more information about meetings at the UN and the UN Address.
I really do not know what happened this year that there were so many hurricanes, some ferocious ones as Irma and Maria and earthquakes as in Mexico. It may be that the earth is warmer than usual.
We, in Toronto are enjoying some unusually warm days for September as if it is still summer. A time as that we would be wearing a Fall (Autumn) coat, if not an early winter one with boots at least. It goes to show that the earth may be warmer.
I have not yet heard the weather forecast for what is in store for us in winter. I told someone we cannot be complacent. We never know in a wink of an eye what could happen. Therefore we simply have to pray to God and ask Him for His Divine protection.
May God help us all. No exception our fellow Dominican residents who are experiencing much hardship from the terrible blow from Hurricane Maria that none expected. I have empathy for you and ask for God’s help for you to see you through, in Jesus Name, I pray.
