Prime Minister the Honourable Gaston A. Browne 33rd Anniversary of Independence Message 1st November 2014
Fellow Citizens and Residents of Antigua and Barbuda
Happy Independence Day to you.
At 33, ours is still a young star in the galaxy of older nations that form our world.

This year, we focus on the theme of Family Agriculture for CWA 2014 - a theme that is timely and highly relevant to the development of agriculture here in the Caribbean Region.
