Day two of the international investment summit was more intense than yesterday and primarily featured welcome and introductory remarks from the top officials of St. Kitts headed by Prime Minister Terrence Drew and former Prime Minister and Right Honourable Dr. Denzil Douglas.
Today, Stanley Jacobs from St. Kitts’ Investment Promotion Agency (SKIPA) provided insights into the exciting investment opportunities available in this unspoiled Caribbean nation.

One thing I know is that their government has the type of commitment devoid of personal agenda.
