LONDON, Sept. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this
week, the Federation of St Kitts and
Nevis and the Arab Republic of Egypt signed a joint communique. The document
establishes diplomatic relations in the margins of the
76th session of the United Nations General Assembly in
New York.
During the meeting, Foreign Minister Mark Brantley and his counterpart His Excellency
Sameh Shoukry discussed areas of mutual interest and cooperating in
easing travel between St Kitts and
Nevis and Egypt. This will
undoubtedly deepen the already strong ties between the Caribbean and the MENA region, improving
business, trade and economic opportunities.
Despite being the smallest sovereign state in the Western
Hemisphere, St Kitts and Nevis'
international influence exceeds its size. This is partly due to it
pioneering the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme as well as
the work of Minister Mark Brantley,
who has cultivated strong bilateral ties whilst also establishing
visa-free waivers to boost travel opportunities. This dedication
has made St Kitts and Nevis one of
the strongest passports to have in the region, enabling its holders
to travel to nearly 160 destinations, including key business
hubs.
"Strengthening our regional and international ties is a high
priority for the government," says Minister Mark Brantley. Over the last five years, the
island nation has formalised diplomatic relations with a further 41
countries and signed 26 mutual visa waiver agreements with
countries across Africa,
Europe and the Americas.
"Building diplomacy grants us diverse economic opportunities and
a stronger vision to move forward and tackle global issues like
COVID and the climate crisis," he added.
Over the last few decades, St Kitts
and Nevis has become a popular destination for foreign
investors seeking second citizenship. In 1984, the country launched
the world's first CBI Programme and today boasts the
longest-standing CBI in operation, thus earning it its Platinum
Standard moniker. Investors need only make a one-time
non-refundable contribution to the island's Sustainable Growth
Fund, introduced by Prime Minister Timothy
Harris, to support national development.
Those who successfully pass the multi-tiered vetting process can
gain citizenship and associated benefits, from increased global
mobility and alternative business prospects to safety for one's
family, particularly during times of volatility.
