Roosevelt Skerrit…at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi today,” the post said, confirming Skerrit’s arrival in India to attend the NDTV Summit in Chandigarh.
The Prime Minister was accompanied by Emmanuel Nanthan, head of Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Unit, and traveled in a convoy provided by India’s Ministry of External Affairs. This engagement is anticipated to enhance diplomatic and economic collaboration, creating beneficial prospects for both nations.
