My wife and I join Barbadians in expressing sadness at the death of former Prime Minister the Right Honorable Owen Arthur. As a beneficiary of the late Prime Ministerโ€™s politics of inclusion, I had the honor to serve Barbados when he appointed me as Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Barbados to the United Nations at New York. I was therefore able to see at close hand his very good understanding of the varied development of small island states like Barbados, and how he formulated economic and financial policies to help Barbados better cope with these challenges. He was a fierce proponent of Caribbean regional cooperation, and led the region in its attempt to improve economic and financial collaboration. We shall miss him. On behalf of myself and my family I extend deepest sympathy to his family, as well as to the Government and people of Barbados on his passing.
