“The strength of the Nation depends on the strength of its citizens.”
This quote from the late Prime Minister Dr. Eric Williams formed the backbone of the Independence address to the nation by Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley.
Dr. Rowley urged citizens to refine their understanding of individual rights, and responsibilities as we shape the nation’s future as a collective.
Further, Dr. Rowley noted that the COVID-19 pandemic created new opportunities which citizens must take advantage of in order to rebuild the nation’s economy.
He revealed that several sectors including manufacturing, finance, entertainment and medicine, have undergone substantial transformations and committed the Government’s support.
Prime Minister Rowley assured that the country will emerge with renewed energy.
