Minister of State within the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training, Innovation, Digital Transformation and Information, Hon. Lavern King, urged Vincentians abroad to play a central role in shaping the country’s next phase of economic and social development.
Speaking at the Invest SVG Diaspora Outreach and Investment Programme in London on Sunday, 19th April, 2026, King said that the Vincentian diaspora remains one of the nation’s most valuable assets.
“The diaspora is not an afterthought in national development; you’re an important part of it,” Minister King said. She further stated that “the diaspora can help widen the horizon for young Vincentians. That kind of connection builds confidence, expands networks, and opens doors.”
The Invest SVG Diaspora initiative is designed to strengthen engagement with nationals living overseas while highlighting key investment opportunities across priority sectors, including education, digital transformation, sustainable development, and entrepreneurship.
