I will never forget the beauty of #StKitts and #Nevis, & it was a pleasure to have Speaker Anthony Michael Perkins here in #Taiwan for our #NationalDay celebrations to discuss how our cooperation in infrastructure, education, & tourism can make it even more beautiful.
Thank you, #StKitts & #Nevis. Though our countries may be small, we have found ways to achieve big results together. While our time here has come to a close, I’ve certainly felt the depth of the friendship between our countries and peoples. #JFDS2019
Honoured to meet Sir Kennedy Alphonse Simmonds, a National Hero who played a major role in establishing #Taiwan-#StKitts & #Nevis diplomatic ties 36 years ago. He has been a loyal friend, and I admire his legacy of national unity and regional integration. #JFDS2019
It’s a unique opportunity to visit Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a #UNESCO World Heritage Site. This time, I invited Taiwanese tourism firms to come see #StKitts & #Nevis for themselves & introduce the beautiful scenery & culture of the Caribbean to #Taiwan.
Next stop: Pinney’s Beach on #Nevis Island. The boat ride offered spectacular views of this up-and-coming tourist haven’s white sand beaches and aquamarine waters, and I’m honoured to be the first president of #Taiwan to visit this island. #JFDS2019
Many people would be surprised to learn that #US Founding Father Alexander Hamilton was born right here on #Nevis Island. Our tour of the island today brought us to his birthplace, where we learned how his #Caribbean upbringing led him to become a vanguard of democracy. #JFDS2019
Governor-General Seaton played a key role when #Taiwan became #StKitts & #Nevis’ first diplomatic ally in 1983. Since then, he has been a loyal friend & outspoken supporter, & I look forward to strengthening our friendship & cooperation for many years to come. #JFDS2019
#SDG 4: Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to creating sustainable development. The technical & vocational training agreement we signed today will equip young people in #StKitts & #Nevis with the practical skills they need to contribute to their country. #JFDS2019
Prime Minister @pmharriskn hosted us at a lovely banquet, complete with lively discussions. #Taiwan is collaborating with #StKitts & #Nevis in many different areas, & we look forward to strengthening our partnership to promote development & achieve the #SDGs. #JFDS2019
Our delegation received a warm welcome in #StKitts and #Nevis from @pmharriskn. Looking forward to our stay here, with an itinerary that will highlight our sustainable cooperation, as well as local history & culture. #JFDS2019
