Congratulations pour in for Stuart Young as T&T Prime Minister
Kaieteur News- Congratulations have continued to pour in for Attorney-at-Law Stuart on his appointment as Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Cabinet of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago led by Prime Minister the Honourable Stuart Young SC.
Young took over the reins from Dr. Keith Rowley who resigned on Sunday. In a one-liner President Irfaan Ali said: “Congratulations to the Honourable Stuart Young on his appointment as the 8th Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.”
Also, in a statement Chairman of Caricom, Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley said, “I also warmly welcome him to the Conference of CARICOM Heads of Government. We look forward to the continued robust participation of Trinidad and Tobago in shaping and executing CARICOM’s response to current and emerging global affairs, including Energy and Security (Drugs and Illicit Arms), for which Prime Minister Young will have lead responsibility in the CARICOM Quasi-cabinet.”
For its part, the Alliance For Change in congratulating Young said Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago share a long history of cooperation and good relations. “Our cultural commonalities date back to our days as colonies of the British Empire and our cooperation in the struggle for independence of our nations forged bonds of friendship made even stronger through our joint efforts to create, with others of the Caribbean, a single market and economy of the Region. This work continues,” the AFC said.
According to the party, as independent nations, Trinidad and Tobago extended its hand of friendship when it wrote off millions in debt under the Paris Club Agreement. “In recent years, since the discovery of oil in Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago has been among the first nations to offer support to Guyana as we sought to bring our oil and gas sector to production. As Prime Minister Young takes up the mantle the Alliance For Change extends sincere appreciation to outgoing Prime Minister Keith Rowley for the Statesman role he played both as Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago and within the Caricom group of nations,” the AFC noted. It said it looks forward to the continuing friendly relations of our two States.
