Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew of St. Kitts and Nevis is set to embark on a significant diplomatic journey to Europe next week. The visit is strategically designed to strengthen the nation’s international standing and advance its climate resilience agenda, according to government officials.
Key Diplomatic Engagements Planned
The Prime Minister’s itinerary includes stops in Brussels, Belgium, where he will engage in meetings focused on mutual interests and international cooperation. This engagement aims to foster stronger ties and explore collaborative opportunities on a global scale.
Focus on Climate Action in Germany
A central part of the European tour will be Dr. Drew’s participation in the Climate Mobility Forum in Berlin, Germany.

This forum provides a vital platform to amplify the concerns of small island developing states and draw international attention to their vulnerability to climate change impacts.
Officials emphasize that these high-level discussions are crucial for ensuring the continued visibility of the nation’s voice on international platforms and advocating for necessary global responses to the climate crisis.

Accompanying Prime Minister Drew on this important mission is a delegation of senior officials, including:
- Naeemah Hazelle, Permanent Secretary in the Prime Minister’s Office
- Dr. David Doyle, Ambassador to UNESCO
- Javon Liburd, Press Secretary
Further details regarding the Prime Minister’s engagements at these international meetings and forums will be disseminated by authorities as the events unfold throughout the week.
