Antigua and Barbuda makes formal offer to host OAS General Assembly next year.

You can now listen to Antigua News articles!

   

“We extend our deepest appreciation to the government of Antigua and Barbuda for the historic offer with the confidence that our ministers in Asuncion will undoubtedly accept it.”

Sir Ronald is optimistic that Antigua and Barbuda could receive the green light.

He told state media, “As the Americans say, you have to wait for the fat lady to sing. But let me put it to you this way. I believe the fat lady is already prepared.

“And that last ball that has to be faced has already gone over the boundary. So, I feel confident that next week in Paraguay, we will get a full endorsement of all the member states.”

This would be the first time a small state among the OAS family is hosting the regular meeting of the General Assembly.

It would come a year after the country hosted the fourth conference on small island developing states, or SIDS4, for which Antigua and Barbuda received international commendation.

    Good! That means our roads will be patched up. Our streets will get a cursory cleaning, and most importantly, WE WILL HAVE WATER FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT!!! It is such a shame! Conditions like these should be prevalent in an “Economic Powerhouse?🤷
