His Excellency Anton Edmunds, Saint Lucia’s Ambassador to the United States of America, was one of five presenters at a February 28 symposium organized by the Minority Business Development Agency Business Center, in collaboration with Export-Import Bank of the United States.

The symposium, which was held under the theme Export Essentials, provided participants with pertinent information on the avenues available to assist small businesses in exporting their products and services to international markets.

Ambassador Edmunds’ presentation focused on Saint Lucia as a prime destination—a hub for doing business in the Caribbean. In addition to providing an economic profile of Saint Lucia, the presentation focused on some of the specific opportunities that exist for potential investors in the country, and highlighted the role of Invest Saint Lucia (ISL) as the primary agency that investors should liaise with, vis-à-vis their interests.
