St Kitts and Nevis, 40th anniversary of Independence Day

That this House celebrates that Tuesday 19th September 2023 will mark the 40th anniversary of Independence of the Federation of Saint Christopher (St Kitts) and Nevis; recognises the UK’s painful history of using the Islands of St Kitts and Nevis as slave colonies; also celebrates the contributions of the Kittitians and Nevisians diaspora who now live in the UK; emphasise the shared bonds of friendship between the UK and St Kitts and Nevis through language, history, laws, and democratic traditions; and calls on the Government to deepen the political, economic and cultural ties that bind together these two great nations and Commonwealth members who share HM King Charles III as Head of State and Sovereign.
