ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Fellow Antiguans and Barbudans, residents, friends, I am thankful to the Almighty for the dawning of another New Year.
The New Year is one that is full of promise and possibilities for each one of us and for our nation of Antigua and Barbuda.
The New Year also represents a clean slate on which to build on the achievements of the past, and a new page on which to register new personal and collective gains for our country and our people.
As the warm rays of sunshine emerge over the lush, green hills and valleys of Antigua and Barbuda for the first time in 2011, our homes and our hearts are filled with new hope and flooded with fresh expectations.
Hon. PM Balwin Spencer
This new dawn is ours to grasp. This New Year is ours to embrace.
The first day of the New Year should serve to reinvigorate our minds, refresh our spirit, and renew our resolve, despite the many challenges of the past year.
For our country and our people, 2010 was a year of both challenges and achievements.
