The government of St. Kitts and Nevis has expressed its appreciation to the Republic of China (Taiwan) for sponsoring Foster the Future Together. The Caribbean Summit.
St. Kitts and Nevis will participate in the two-day summit, which is scheduled to take place at the St. Kitts Marriott Beach Resort, Casino & Spa.
Set for November 13 and 14, 2026, the event is expected to welcome attendees from across the Caribbean. Taiwan’s contribution will support preparations and help facilitate the hosting of the programme.
The donation was presented at Taiwan’s embassy headquarters, where First Lady of St. Kitts and Nevis, Diani Prince Drew, received the cheque.
The handover took place on November 5, 2026, with Taiwan’s Ambassador Edward Tao and Deputy Counsellor Ken Yang in attendance. Cabinet Secretary Dr Marcus L Natta also attended on behalf of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The government acknowledged the importance of Taiwan’s financial support in helping to deliver the summit successfully.
Under the theme “Empowering Caribbean Children for the Digital Age,” the summit aims to bring together relevant stakeholders from across the region for discussion and dialogue.
Mrs Diani Prince Drew is hosting the event as part of her longstanding commitment to the welfare of children in St. Kitts and Nevis. Her advocacy has also extended to the international stage, including her participation in the 2026 Concordia Annual Summit in New York in September.
The Caribbean summit forms part of the global Fostering the Future Together initiative led by United States First Lady Melania Trump. It is expected to bring together the first spouses of Caribbean leaders, regional ministers, education and youth development experts, and private-sector partners involved in areas including education and artificial intelligence.
