  • Saint Lucia to the United Nations
    PERMANENT MISSION OF SAINT LUCIA TO THE UNITED NATIONS STATEMENT BY THE HONOURABLE ALLEN M. CHASTANET PRIME MINISTER OF SAINT LUCIA AND MINISTER FOR FINANCE, ECONOMIC GROWTH, JOB CREATION EXTERNAL AFFAIRS AND THE PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE MEETING OF THE HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT ON FINANCING THE 2030 AGENDA IN THE ERA OF COVID-19 AND BEYOND NEW YORK TUESDAY 29th SEPTEMBER, 2020 1 I wish to commend my colleague Prime Ministers of Canada and Jamaica and the United Nations Secretary General for bringing together Heads of State and Government, International organisations, and other key stakeholders to discuss and consider concrete financing solutions to the COVID19 crisis. While I applaud the work done over the summer months to deliver the menu of options before us, which offers a wide and varied selection that would allow member states to choose options that best suit their national circumstances. It is my considered view that the menu does not effectively address the systemic inequities that have long plagued and prevented small Island developing states like Saint Lucia from achieving meaningful sustainable development. When we gathered in the Spring I called for a holistic approach that would address SIDS challenges with SIDS solutions, focused on our systematic constraints. I highlighted that it is an imperative that a dynamic approach be taken to treat with the recognised vulnerabilities of SIDS as an issue that cuts across the international financing architecture. This approach must deviate from the income only measure of need and the utilisation of a multidimensional vulnerability index. This holistic approach, a compact for the SIDS, would aid in designing innovative response mechanisms and enhance existing financial instruments to guide SIDS economies through this period of crisis and create a responsive system where gains can be maintained, resilience to climate change can be reinforced, and development achieved.

  • India- Cayman Islands Relations
    India- Cayman Islands Relations The Cayman Islands, a group of three islands (Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman) in the north-west Caribbean Sea, about 150 miles south of Cuba, 460 miles south of Miami, Florida, and 167 miles northwest of Jamaica (land area 264 sq. km., population 54,000, GDP US$2.8 bn.) is an English speaking UK Overseas Territory. Cayman Island is one of the world's largest financial centres and a well- known tax haven. UK Government seems amenable to allow autonomy to the Cayman Islands on certain aspects of its external affairs – on relations with CARICOM, Caribbean regional organizations, and other UK/Netherlands/French Overseas Territories/Dependencies in the Caribbean region, subject to prior intimation/approval of the Governor/UK Government. The conduct of foreign relations is controlled by the British Foreign Office. It is an associate member of CARICOM and UNESCO, and a member of Caribbean Development Bank, Universal Postal Union, and Interpol. It is not a member of the United Nations or any other international organization. Though the Cayman Islands has neither participated in various International fora nor articulated its position on climate change, it has serious stakes in the on-going international discussions, inter-alia, on account of rising sea levels, warming of the oceans, coastal erosion, degradation of the marine environment, declining of fish stocks, and increased frequency and intensity of storms and hurricanes, which threaten not only the sustainable development and fragile infrastructure but also the very existence of small island developing countries. Political As a UK Overseas Territory the Cayman Islands has not articulated its position on reforms of the UNSC or our candidature for the non-permanent seat.
