Describing Dr Gonsalves as an illustrious son of the soil, Sir Louis, flanked by several government ministers said that he was extremely happy to have been given the opportunity to work with him.

“He is a very capable, affable, congenial Prime Minister, who has been doing a great job in leading this country into a modern, post colonial country,” said Sir Louis.

Sir Louis said that the prayers of most Vincentians is that the Prime Minister will continue to enjoy good health, longevity, and the intellectual vigor and energy to continue to lead this country and this government.
