“We had to pull our semester forward the students would have come to the island sooner than anticipated and subsequently, they would leave earlier than they would generally do. Because of the nature of the United Nations, I think everyone would appreciate, that all our regular day-to-day activities would have to cease for the time the conference is going on,” he added.

More raw materials are also being imported as the progress towards the completion of the facility.

“We are expecting a shipment to close the building in. People are passing by and wondering if the building will be finished, but again we are on schedule,” he confirmed.

The 4th International Small Island Developing States (SIDS) conference is expected to take place at the American University of Antigua (AUA) from 27-30 May 2024 with numerous high-level officials expected on island.

The conference will review sustainable development progress, the ability of small islands to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and propose a path forward for a decade of partnerships and solutions.

The government has said that will support the hotels, inns and other lodgings that will house international political leaders, staff and other NGO stakeholders.  Cruise ships will also be asked to assist.
