precisely to the caribbean supreme court under the organization of the eastern caribbean states on december 6, 1998 the leader of the united liborist party on october 1, 1999 led the parliamentary opposition from march 29, 2001 to the prime minister of saint vincent and the grenadines. prime minister, if i say that, uh, unfortunately in your country, the son of the center of the grenadines, our country is not so well known. but the same small country always has its own history, sometimes very interesting, and even confusing. well, i, for example, heard that ignatius discovered something not christopher columbus uh, if i may, tell me a little about your country. first of all, christopher columbus did not discover st. vincent and the grenadines st. vincent and the grenadines existed before columbus before

columbus sailed to our islands between the indigenous people and western civilization there were already contacts of the indigenous people had their own way of life, heard even before the expedition columbus to the caribbean. what interests me the most? i like ancient civilizations such as african indian civilization chinese and so on, with regard to our region, i am interested in the columbian civilization in mexico and for other countries of central and latin america, for example, in tbilisi, as well as the ancient civilizations that existed on the territory of my country, which penetrated to us with the

galinagu tribes. then the indians inhabited the archipelago around the third century, they moved here from south america, but then they were conquered by the very warlike people of the carib indians. the caribs were excellent warriors and very freedom-loving people. they fearlessly resisted the spaniards, who took possession of the island and their resistance was suppressed much later than in other territories of estensia only in the middle of the 18th century. in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, st. vincent alternately passed under the control of great britain and france. probably the most striking feature of this astronomical state with the administration of

horses is the amazing ethnic diversity of the population. actually, this happened historically at the beginning of the 18th century, when back in 1719 the french colonialists began to grow tobacco, coffee tree, cotton indigo but actually the indigenous population to work on the plantation. and to the population - these were the descendants of the caribougu, they were simply not enough for all these works, and then the french began to massively import african works and years to the island, and a colleague interfered with the africans and even some new ethnic group was formed, which was called harry funa-skinned descendants mushroom. the third year and the gorifuna has already become a lot. they

had a strong leader joseph shatte, under his leadership of the griffin and the kolyanago rebelled against british colonialism. and this struggle went on for almost 30 years. nowhere else in the entire caribbean has there been such a long resistance. then the british came to the island and in 1834 they abolished slavery, respectively, the black slaves left the plantations, but still needed new labor, respectively, they began to bring indians and portuguese to the island. and now imagine how these different ethnic groups are africans. caribbean portuguese. the hindus are all intermingled and thus today

an incomparable ethnic image of the modern citizen and the grenadines was formed. actually descendants. those very first settlers are our today's interlocutor. after the emancipation of slaves after the abolition of slavery in 1834 , there was a shortage of labor, the british began to import hired workers from the island of madeira were my ancestors for 5 years, starting from 1845 , more than 2,000 hired workers arrived, and in the period from 1861 to 1880, hired workers were brought to us from india by ethnicity part of the population are descendants of africans of mixed blood. ethnic diversity saint

vincent and the grenadines unprecedented even for the caribbean 66% of the population is black 19 mulatto xestendus four white 2% caribbean indians sometimes from the outside it seems strange to some people, looking at me a person of european appearance in a country with a population where more than 90% population has african roots. that i've been the most popular politician for over 20 years and i'm winning free and fair elections. every 5 years. this is due to the conditions of my early upbringing and dating in the countryside later. i went

to school in a workplace off the coast of the atlantic there was no running water, the village people lived very boringly, there was no electricity in the houses. it was in such conditions that my generation grew up, the future prime minister became interested in political activities very early while still studying, gancalves became

president of the guild of university students, led the debatable clone and became an activist in the united liberation movement. yulu, it it was, by the way, the marxist lenin's debt for their leftist convictions. he even got the nickname comrade ralph. i always thought that i inherited a rebellious character from a young age. i felt disgust for injustice and a sharp rejection of human suffering. it has been almost 20 years in this office, as it is now in front of you. what do you think? well, let's just say it's best. we have succeeded in these 20 years, firstly, the transformation. perhaps only if your population is well educated and has a good scientific background. that's why we

made a revolution in our education in all areas and at all levels, including the signing of agreements with the governments of different countries on the education of our students in their universities, including russia. as a result, we were able to create a very tolerant society, figuratively speaking, we are like a grand symphony orchestra indigenous songs , african rhythms, european melodies, asian motifs and caribbean lyrics, of course, as in any orchestra, dissonances sometimes arise; we cope with these dissonances with with the help of the established order of customs and nuru behavior. and, of course, the so-called conductor of this orchestra plays an important role. preservation

of tolerance to tell a little about the people about the citizens of your country. how do they live the holidays. what religions do they practice? representatives of the anglican church are catholics, methodists, seventh -day adventists, pentecostals, and evangelicals are a little bit muslim, of course, there is a very large group of rastafarians. uh by character by priority by mood living we are a very musical people, we have our own

writers and talented people in other fields of art, who are well known in our isa region, outside of it all over the world, people here have fun and spend their free time just like in other countries, the majority of the population works in tourism, banking and in the financial sector in various administrative services in agriculture and fisheries, that is, the branches are not related to industrial production. we have now embarked on a very ambitious program. to generate electricity from renewable sources. it accounts for 20% of all electricity generated in our country. we are developing solar energy. and today we started the project. valued at us$100 million jointly with an icelandic company to obtain

a geothermal development opportunity. we have large geothermal resources. 25% of the islanders are employed in agriculture, the rich soil of saint vincent allows you to grow many types of fruits and vegetables here, the rest are engaged in fishing and processing agricultural products. there is also production of furniture, clothing, assembly of electrical equipment, production of tennis rackets , bananas are the main export commodity of the country, while st.

poverty, reducing the number of poor people from one quarter to five percent. we have increased the housing stock by a third , there have been improvements in the field of culture and sports. in a word, we have completely transformed our economy and economic indicators have doubled in a quarter compared to 2001 figures . we have increased the number of jobs and strengthened the system of social protection, including the sun, provision for pensioners have created a powerful program to support and protect women 75% of the entire state is made up of women our diplomatic corps. women we pass laws against violence

of rainforests, mountainous waterfalls and beaches and black sand flora, the island can be called the best botanical garden in the western hemisphere. in its northern part, the relief is mountainous, this relief forms the slopes of the active volcano soufrière and peaks. several dormant volcanic mountains are covered with tropical forests. enough is here many rivers and lakes. one of the lakes is located right in the prompter crater in the harbor on the southwestern coast of the island is the capital of kingston, the main port and commercial center of the country. this is a very green city with lots of citrus and mango trees, coconut palms and incredible tropical shrubs with all this

variety. you can get acquainted in the oldest western hemisphere botanical garden, which is almost 260 years old, and this is an anglican cathedral of the 19th century. saint george and his famous windfall red angel bo messengers on it are not in pelah, aval clothes. we have a rich historical heritage that attracts history buffs tourists and finally has a closer white sand. i advise you to visit the islands of the grenadines, bordered by corals, a vacation on the island of beke will cost a relatively moderate amount, the islands of coagua. and mystic is already a luxury and exclusive holiday on the saint vint islands, a very wide price range that will suit a variety of vacationers in case and a safe country and its main city. port elizabeth is the perfect place

tourists constantly come. basically. they're movie stars, millionaires, billionaire royals, they keep coming. why not. in private ownership, this is an elite vacation on the island. only 114 villas . construction of new ones. it is forbidden to rent a villa or a room in one of the small hotels without the permission of the owners' council. here they profess the principle there are no paved roads for maximum environmental friendliness, but a way of moving a horse and an electric golf cart. dean is the first country in the world to organize what they themselves call the

digital cue ball. well, maybe not everyone has heard of it. and it says that it is there on the island. where did you come to rest on the threshold of external civilization. in general, in one word and grenadine. you relax, completely merge with nature. well, how

will it be good for you in this situation or it is unusual for you to judge for yourself. and it is very important to say that our people are characterized by patriotism, love for their country, love for the land and the sea, land landscape and seascape, and no one argues with my statement, because we absorb it with mother's milk from birth. better than other peoples, but there is no one better than us. all the while minister thank you very much for this conversation. eh, i wish prosperity to your small, but beautiful country , prosperity to the people of playing together for a day and great success to you. thank you mr prime minister, thank you very much, very much. thank you
