Grenada Prime Minister Calls for Collective Effort at Grenadian Diaspora Town Hall
The Prime Minister of Grenada, Honourable Dickon Mitchell, and his delegation participated in a town hall meeting in Washington, District of Columbia (D.C.), on September 24th, 2024. Speakers included Honourable Joseph Andall – Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honourable Andrea St. Bernard – Special Envoy for Development and Investment in the Office of the Prime Minister, and Honourable Tarlie Francis – Ambassador of Grenada to the United States of America. The event was hosted by the Embassy of Grenada to the United States of America at the Ronald Reagan Building, International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington D.C. 20004C.
As part of Grenada’s ongoing celebration of its 50th Anniversary of Independence, the townhall meeting was an opportunity for Grenadian citizens and friends of Grenada to receive updated information on Hurricane Beryl recovery efforts, technical and vocational skills training, the medical sector, youth affairs, and efforts to overcome bureaucracy challenges in Grenada.
Prime Minister Mitchell thanked Congresswoman Barbara Lee (US Representative, California) for decades of support to Grenada. He shared his vision for Grenada’s future and listened to concerns from Grenadians in the diaspora. Hon. Mitchell commended the Grenadian diaspora community for their unwavering support and contributions to the country’s development. “Your dedication to Grenada’s progress is truly commendable, and I assure you that our government is committed to engaging and empowering you in our nation’s growth,” he said.
During the town hall meeting, PM Mitchell emphasized the importance of collective effort in addressing the challenges facing Grenada. “We must work together to build a brighter future for our nation. Your input and expertise are invaluable to us, and we look forward to collaborating with you,” he urged. The Prime Minister also acknowledged the diaspora community’s enthusiasm and willingness to contribute to Grenada’s development.
“We recognize that your willingness to contribute is contingent on well-managed and effective channels. We are committed to creating those channels and fostering a strong partnership with you,” he noted. PM Mitchell, therefore, expressed his gratitude to the diaspora community for their continued support. “Your love for Grenada is evident in all that you do, and we are grateful for your unwavering commitment. Let us continue to work together to build a prosperous and resilient Grenada,” he said.
