Roseau, Dominica, September 19, 2023: The President of Dominica, His Excellency Charles A. Savarin, SAH, DAH, GCCO, is heading Dominica’s delegation to the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York from September 18 to 26, 2023.

His Excellency delivered an address to a High Level Political Forum on Sustainable development on behalf of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on Monday, September 18 and called for urgent action from the international community to reform the international financial architecture and ensure an enabling environment for developing countries to actively participate in and benefit from the global economy. He stated that CARICOM’s support for gender equality, empowerment of women and girls, reduction in domestic poverty, access to clean water and sanitation, food and energy security and the use of technology is a transformative tool for economic growth.

Not wasting my time to say nothing.
You UWP aholes has been repeating the same BS for 23 years,like parrots and like a stuck record.These fools are so shameless,they know they making fools of themselves yet they continue.What is the FBI arresting Skerrit for?
Joke that man. In two weeks time Charles Savarin will be out of office and the man looking so rundown and fragile and is he Skerrit sending to his UN? So why is the big mouth Roosevelt Skerrit himself not heading the delegation to the UN? So it seems to be true the the coward Roosevelt Skerrit’ is afraid of the US man? Skerrit are you scared of the FBI and a possible arrest? If not go to the UN to talk about climate change and how you have made Dominant the first climate resilient country in the whole world
Big mouth skerrit have only in dominica he can bark.
Skerrit doesn’t venture onto US soil anymore. One wonders why? Is he on the wanted list of their law enforcement agencies? One way or another, it should give Dominicans plenty to think about!
I hope it goes well. Clara, the first lady’s name, is my middle name.
Nothing Roosevelt enjoys more than travelling overseas, hogging the spotlight, and rubbing shoulders with very prominent and wealthy world leaders. For him not to seize the opportunity with both hands to travel to the UN, is shockingly befuddling. Something is amiss.
Does he think the FBI is lying in wait for him? He knows that there are many accusations swirling around him because of his relationships with some of the world’s most notorious con men and fugitives. His day of reckoning is finally drawing nigh.
These small countries go to the UN every September and basically talk to an empty chamber. Mostly members of their delegations are the only persons that occupy the seats.
These heads of each delegation sing the same refrain every time – Climate change/resilience, debt forgiveness, grants, et cetera.
When they return home to their respective countries they tell the unsuspecting media about their bilateral talks with leaders and ambassadors of super rich countries, and how many MOUs they have signed to bring much needed development and jobs to their countries.
Unfortunately, the lot of the poverty stricken citizens remains firmly intact. Nothing is gained.
More garbage and refuse from Ibo, the impeccable man.
