As we conclude another year, I am filled with gratitude and pride as I reflect on all that we have accomplished together. This year has been marked by tremendous growth, resilience, and impact across the Ministries of Sports and the Creative Economy, Agriculture, Fisheries and Marine Resources, Small Business, Entrepreneurship, and Cooperatives.
None of this would have been possible without the unwavering dedication of the Permanent Secretaries, Directors, and staff within these ministries and departments. Your hard work, innovative ideas, and commitment to excellence have been the driving force behind our achievements.
From empowering our athletes and creatives to ensuring food security, fostering entrepreneurship, and building sustainable cooperatives, we have made significant strides that will benefit not just our generation but those to come.
To every farmer, fisherman, small business owner, cooperative member, athlete, artist, and community partner, your contributions have been invaluable. Together, we are creating a brighter future for St. Kitts and Nevis—one rooted in collaboration, innovation, and opportunity.
As we step into the new year, let us continue to work with purpose and passion, keeping our collective vision for progress and prosperity alive.
Thank you all for your support and dedication. Here’s to an even more impactful year ahead!
With love,
**Hon. Samal Duggins**
