Permanent Representative of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations, His Excellency Mr. Ian Liburd, signs a joint communiqu\u00e9 to establish diplomatic relations as well as a visa waiver agreement with Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires of The Republic of Sudan, Mr. Ammar M.M.

LONDON, March 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Federation of\u00a0St Kitts and Nevis\u00a0is continuing to strengthen its ties with the African continent.<\/p>\n

The Permanent Representative of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations recently met with his\u00a0Sudanese\u00a0counterpart,\u00a0Mr. Ammar M.M.\u00a0Mohammed, to formalise diplomatic relations, agreeing on a mutual visa waiver to facilitate easier travel.<\/p>\n

The Caribbean nation also established diplomatic relations and signed visa waiver agreements with\u00a0Egypt late last year and with Ghana as recently as last week.<\/p>\n

The signing with Egypt occurred on the sidelines of the 76th period of sessions of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, with St Kitts and Nevis\u2019 Foreign Minister\u00a0Mark Brantley.<\/p>\n

Minister Brantley has been instrumental to St Kitts and Nevis expanding its bilateral relations across the world, propelling and creating visibility of the islands globally and enabling the nation to have one of the strongest travel prospects in the region. The last few years have seen a deepening of ties with the African continent with relations established with countries like Mozambique, Djibouti, Rwanda, Burkina Faso, and Gabon.<\/p>\n

Caribbean\u00a0and African ties run deep \u2013 the territories have shared history and culture and a lot is being done to strengthen and foster Caribbean-African relations and increase their\u00a0bargaining power<\/a>\u00a0with the world. Last September, for example, leaders from the African Union and the\u00a0Caribbean Community\u00a0(CARICOM) convened the first\u00a0Africa\u00a0CARICOM Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We have talked about a closer connection with\u00a0Africa. We are of\u00a0Africa, and many, I believe, have agreed that there ought to be a closer nexus between the\u00a0Caribbean\u00a0and\u00a0Africa\u00a0and that we ought in every sense to be a part of the so-called sixth region of\u00a0Africa,” Brantley previously noted on the matter.<\/p>\n

At the signing event with Sudan, the economic and cultural links between the two nations were promoted, as well as the visa-free access of up to 90 days both ways, for holders of diplomatic, official, and ordinary\u00a0passports. In addition to the signings, the two diplomats discussed areas of cooperation,\u00a0natural resources, Citizenship by Investment<\/a>, transport, and a stronger Africa-CARICOM\u00a0partnership.<\/p>\n

St Kitts and Nevis\u00a0has for a number of years welcomed a growing number of African investors and businesspeople to settle on the islands through its popular\u00a0Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme<\/a>. An increasing number of African entrepreneurs are beginning to acknowledge the value of having a second citizenship especially when looking to keep business competitive,\u00a0access greater global mobility<\/a> and higher quality education<\/a> and healthcare services or simply keeping loved ones safe.<\/p>\n

The country scored a respectable score of 48 points in the overall rankings in the World Citizenship Report<\/a>, the highest of all the Caribbean CBI nations. It reached top marks in the Safety and Security, Quality of Life, and Global Mobility motivators.<\/p>\n

The report was developed by CS Global Partners<\/a>, the world\u2019s leading government advisory and marketing firm, and measures 187 countries against five motivators that are relevant amongst High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs). These motivators include Safety and Security, Economic Opportunity, Quality of Life, Global Mobility and Quality of Life.<\/p>\n

As pioneers of the CBI industry,\u00a0St Kitts and Nevis\u00a0remains a top destination for those seeking second citizenship from a trusted and reputable country. The islands launched the Programme in 1984 and have since been recognised as the market’s ‘Platinum Standard’ brand and have been consistently ranked as the world’s best programme by the CBI Index<\/a>, published annually by the Professional Wealth Management<\/a> magazine.<\/p>\n

Those who choose\u00a0St Kitts and Nevis\u00a0gain a wide range of benefits including:<\/p>\n
