Antigua and Barbuda is making history by hosting the 55th regular session of the Organisation of American States (OAS) General Assembly, becoming the smallest nation to do so.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne will deliver the keynote address along with OAS Secretary General Albert Ramdin and Foreign Affairs Minister E.P. Chet Greene, who will chair the meeting.
Ambassador Sir Ronald Sanders has highlighted the nation’s commitment to justice and support for vulnerable populations, emphasizing a diplomatic approach based on equity.
The agenda will focus on three key topics:
- Climate Change: Addressing a significant concern for Caribbean islands, with Antigua and Barbuda advocating for substantive discussions despite U.S. resistance to the language used.
- Mental Health: An initiative launched by Prime Minister Browne to raise awareness of global mental health issues affecting families.
- Consensus over Conflict: Emphasizing the importance of consensus among OAS member nations to minimize disputes and facilitate the approval of well-debated resolutions.
Ruled by NGOs, you must bow to the NGO god. Till d*ath do you part, or until someone with the gift as educated and smart as IB Traore comes along to look at the bigger picture of abject poverty the ubiquitous useless NGOs impose using “AID” and to wake you weak Kings up.
It’s unbelievable today you’d accept AID from an NGO to teach a few people first-aid so you must stay silent, which the Red Cross did for free.
