Sir Ronald Sanders

Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the United States Sir Ronald Sanders has called on international financial institutions and wealthy governments to do more for the people of Haiti, following the recent devastating earthquake that has ravaged the country, leaving thousands dead, injured and homeless.

According to a release from the Embassy of Antigua and Barbuda in Washington, Sanders made the call during an address on behalf of the CARICOM Group to the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington, DC, yesterday.

“We in CARICOM, urge international development and finance institutions and governments to help to the fullest extent of their capabilities, making sure that assistance is provided to the needy and vulnerable in a fair and equitable manner,” he said.
