The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission has extended heartfelt congratulations to the Government and People of Antigua and Barbuda as the nation commemorates its 44th Anniversary of Independence on November 1, 2025. This year’s celebration is themed “Solid, Stable, Soaring,” a fitting tribute to the country’s extraordinary journey of resilience, unity, and progress. The theme reflects Antigua and Barbuda’s solid foundation, stable governance, and ambitious vision for a prosperous future. In his address, OECS Director General, His Excellency Dr. Didacus Jules, lauded the nation for its unwavering dedication to regional integration, sustainable development, and the empowerment of its citizens. Dr. Jules highlighted the country’s remarkable spirit, particularly in the face of adversity, such as the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017. He emphasized that the nation’s strength lies not in its size or wealth but in its unity, resilience, and determination. As Antigua and Barbuda celebrates this milestone, the OECS reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the nation’s continued growth and development. The full remarks by Dr. Jules are available on the OECS YouTube page, and live coverage of the Independence celebrations can be accessed through the Antigua and Barbuda Government Information Services.
