Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew

Thank you, God, for the rain.
Every drop counts.

I was happy to welcome the men of Constituency #8 to my home for a Father’s Day Grill & Chill.

We enjoyed an afternoon of good food, great conversation, and plenty of laughter while celebrating the fathers and father figures who do so much for their families and communities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.

The strength of a nation begins at home.

To every father who works, sacrifices, guides, protects, and encourages, thank you for the role you play in building stronger families and stronger communities.

Wishing all fathers across St. Kitts and Nevis a meaningful and blessed Father’s Day.

Today in Berlin, while attending the Berlin Climate Mobility Forum, I had the privilege of joining fellow world leaders in a conversation that is deeply important to the future of Small Island Developing States like St. Kitts and Nevis. Climate change is not a distant threat for us, it is a present reality affecting our people, our communities, our livelihoods, and our way of life. Yet those who have contributed the least to this crisis often bear its greatest burdens.

I made it clear that our nation is not asking for sympathy. We are calling for fairness, meaningful partnerships, and action that recognizes the realities facing vulnerable countries. I also stressed that the people who live closest to these challenges must have a voice in shaping the solutions. Our communities possess knowledge, resilience, and experience that cannot be overlooked.

As we continue to advocate on the global stage, St. Kitts and Nevis will remain committed to protecting our people, preserving our heritage, and building a more resilient future for generations to come.

I had a meaningful discussion with H.E. Kevin Conmy, Ambassador of Ireland to Belgium.

As small island nations with shared histories and common aspirations, there is much that St Kitts and Nevis and Ireland can achieve through stronger partnership and continued dialogue. We exchanged views on issues that matter deeply to our people, including sustainable development, climate resilience, and the challenges and opportunities facing Small Island Developing States.

I remain committed to building meaningful relationships that create opportunities for our people and strengthen our voice on the global stage.

I continued advancing St. Kitts and Nevis’ interests through productive discussions with Mr. Keon Doens, Director General of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships.

Our conversation reinforced the value of strong partnerships, shared ambition, and forward-thinking cooperation. As we pursue our vision for a more sustainable, resilient, and prosperous future, engagements like these help open new doors for our people and strengthen the bonds between Saint Kitts and Nevis, the Caribbean, and the European Union.

We remain focused on creating opportunities, building strategic relationships, and ensuring that our Federation continues to thrive in an increasingly connected world.

The future of Saint Kitts and Nevis will be powered by innovation, strategic partnerships, and bold investments.

Today, I met with leading European energy companies, financiers, and private sector partners to explore opportunities that can help accelerate our geothermal energy ambitions and strengthen our journey toward energy independence.

We are building relationships that can unlock new opportunities, lower energy costs, create jobs, and position our Federation as a leader in sustainable energy for generations to come.

I joined senior European Union officials for a productive working lunch, Ms Fiona Ramsey, EU Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean; Ms Laura Carpini, Deputy Director‑General Global Affairs, Director Latin America & Caribbean, Italian MFA; Mr Riccardo Rossi, Member of Cabinet, Commissioner for International Partnerships and Olga Baus Gibert, Deputy Head of Unit, Latin America & Caribbean, DG INTPA, where we explored opportunities to strengthen cooperation between the Caribbean and the EU in areas that matter to our future, renewable energy, geothermal development, cybersecurity, digital transformation, regional connectivity, and sustainable economic growth.

St. Kitts and Nevis continues to advocate for stronger collaboration that delivers real benefits for our people while helping to build a more resilient, innovative and prosperous Caribbean region.

I had a productive discussion with Mr Salvador Pinto da França, Adviser for Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean in the Cabinet of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission.

We spoke about strengthening the partnership between St. Kitts and Nevis, CARICOM and the European Union, advancing sustainable development, expanding economic opportunities, and ensuring that small island states like ours continue to have a strong voice on the global stage.

These conversations matter. They help open doors for investment, deepen cooperation, and create new opportunities for our people as we continue building a stronger, more resilient future.

Meaningful conversations and strong partnerships remain essential in an increasingly interconnected world.

While in Brussels, I had the opportunity to sit with European Commissioner Magnus Brunner as we continue to deepen engagement with key international partners and advance issues that matter to the people of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

As a small nation, we understand the value of cooperation, dialogue, and working together to address shared challenges while creating new opportunities for our citizens and our region.
