Prime Minister Drew Meets with Deputy Prime Minister Hanley in Miami, Reaffirms Confidence in Government

In a high-level working meeting held in Miami on September 28, 2026, St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Terrance M. Drew held in-depth discussions with Deputy Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Geoffrey I. Hanley, reaffirming unified commitment to advancing the federation’s national agenda and expressing full confidence in his government’s leadership.

The gathering followed Hanley’s return from leading the St. Kitts and Nevis delegation to the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81) in New York City. Hanley traveled to Miami to deliver a comprehensive on-the-ground briefing to Drew on pressing domestic issues, the government’s ongoing policy work, and the outcomes of the federation’s diplomatic engagements during the UN assembly.

Over the course of the meeting, the two senior leaders walked through detailed updates on all core domestic portfolios, reviewed key takeaways from the federation’s time at UNGA81, aligned on the government’s ongoing priority initiatives, and addressed a range of other matters critical to national development.

In remarks released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) following the meeting, Drew shared his positive assessment of the discussion. “It was a pleasure to welcome my Deputy Prime Minister and to receive a full update on the work of our Government and our Federation’s engagements at the United Nations,” Drew said. “I am encouraged by all that continues to be accomplished on behalf of our people.”

Drew extended explicit gratitude to Hanley and his entire Cabinet for their consistent, committed leadership during this period. He also specifically recognized Hon. Konris Maynard, who stepped into the role of Acting Prime Minister while Hanley led the national delegation to the UN General Assembly.

Addressing the public of St. Kitts and Nevis directly, Drew reaffirmed his unshakable commitment to the shared national vision for the federation. “To the people of St. Kitts and Nevis, I remain deeply grateful to God and my family, and for your prayers and support, which have been a genuine source of strength,” he said. “My commitment to you, and to the vision we share for our Federation, remains unwavering, and I look forward to returning to my full duties in due course.”
