Solidarity and our deepest thoughts from across the #BluePacific Prime Minister @AndrewHolnessJM . This cannot be the future that World writes for SIDS.
I am now in St Elizabeth and images of destruction are all around. The damage is great, but we are going to devote all our energy to mount a strong recovery.
