Prime Minister Skerrit presented a heartfelt recognition of India’s prime minister, Shri Narendra Modi, while bestowing the Dominica Award of Honor on the leader, stating that his influence has reached across borders.
The award ceremony took place on Wednesday, in Guyana, where Prime Minister Modi was in attendance for a regional event.
Skerrit emphasized that the award is not merely a token. He said it represents a profound acknowledgment of a legacy characterized by impactful leadership and a dedication to the well-being of humanity. The Prime Minister highlighted a significant moment during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 when 70,000 AstraZeneca vaccines were generously provided, serving as a critical lifeline for the people of Dominica.
“This act transcended a donation. It was a powerful reminder that true leadership knows no borders,” the PM acknowledged, reflecting on how this generous gesture not only safeguarded local citizens but also enabled assistance to neighboring Caribbean nations.
He further articulated that this remarkable act of solidarity illustrates the essence of global cooperation and mutual support. He praised Prime Minster Modi’s ability to combine decisive action with a visionary perspective that motivates countries to unite for common goals. Under this influential leadership, Skerrit said, India has made significant advancements in various sectors, including healthcare, information technology, and renewable energy infrastructure.
Highlighting initiatives like the International Solar Alliance, he acknowledged that, in his view, it not only promoted sustainable energy but have also empowered smaller nations to envision a resilient future. The Prime Minister reiterated the importance of climate finance, underscoring Modi’s commitment to advocating for the most vulnerable nations grappling with the consequences of climate change—a cause that resonates deeply with Dominica’s mission to become a climate-resilient nation.
In closing, Skerrit quoted a wise adage: “The earth has enough resources for our needs, but not enough for our greed,” emphasizing the responsibility that lies in protecting the planet for future generations. He specified that the honor conferred reflects shared values between India and Dominica, including a steadfast commitment to democracy and resilience in challenging times. The Prime Minister concluded with gratitude, noting that the world, like Dominica, owes a great debt to leaders such a as Shri Narendra Modi for their relentless efforts to uplift humanity beyond geographical boundaries.
Starboy of stupidity getting more desperate and more stupid!
Well deserved. We thank our brothers and sisters in India for their support.
Roosevelt’s intention is solely for attention. Well calculated for maximum publicity.
I am surprised skerrit did not kiss modi behind while he was at it. The biggest political prostitute in the western hemisphere.
Roosevelt’s intention is solely for attention. Well calculated for maximum publicity.
Two national leaders who claim to have been sent by God.
Who told you that these two leaders claim to be sent by God. Did these two leaders make that claim about themselves, if so present the evdience of what you are alleging.
Here goes Roosevelt’s palace guard. He reminds me of one of those attack dogs that was used during the Civil Rights era against the freedom fighters.
@IboFrance
He is both stupid and shameless. But he gets some of the crumbs for sure.
Remember Covid-19?
Skerrit accepted the vaccines from India.
And he was encouraging other CARICOM countries to follow suit.
According to some people money exchanged hands for the vaccines!
PM Modi is making an official visit to Guyana not Dominica.
De fake world boss didn’t travel to India and enter the esteemed company of PM Modi to deliver Dominica’s highest honor.
Modi didn’t travel to Dominica…..to be in de esteemed company of de fake wannabe world boss that is always seeking relevance.
That’s all I see.
Skerrit seems to be giving de majority of Dominica’s highest honors to foreigners…….and I have no hatred for you Mr Modi.
The right to express your opinion on this site does not give you
the liberty to make silly allegations, quote “According to some people money exchanged hands for the vaccines.” really. Giving your spin and your lack of understanding of a ceromnial event based on your silly partisan predujuce does not take away the significance as to what ceremony was intended to accomplish, so long.
In the Bible, a trespass offering is made to compensate for damage done to others, while a sin offering is made to deal with the offender’s guilt.
So PM did you just offer a trespass offering to India’s prime minister, Shri Narendra Modi, or both a trespass offering and sin offering?
I am asking because I want to know
modi must be saying…he is d other crook same as brown in Antigua….he that crook me with chausy? trying to buy me with award….good luck…crooked as hell….so no Dominican deserve this award? skerrit you are the best ….
Why such silly remarks, quote, “he that crook me with chausy? trying to buy me with award….good luck…crooked as hell” Wow. This ceremony once again showcases great Statemanship by PM Skerrit projecting Dominica on the regional and global stage. Why the resentment and silly accusations, isn’t there a time when partisan
politics can be cast aside and recognize something of such a significance regarding this ceremony and what it represents.
