Outside the rigors of the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister the Hon. Gaston Browne and Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves crossed paths on the streets of New York, USA and shared a light moment. 

Both prime ministers will address the General Assembly of the UN on Friday afternoon, during which they will continue to champion the need for special and differential treatment for Small Island Developing States. 

Both leaders have also been strong advocates for the removal of the US embargo on the sister nation of Cuba which has been a benefactor of both countries.  They are expected to raise this issued during their presentations. 

Antigua and Barbuda and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines share a long history, with that country recently announcing the commencement of flights into the island from October 4 by the recently reorganized Antigua based airline, LIAT 2020. 

Following the liquidation of its predecessor, LIAT 1974 Ltd., Prime Minister Gaston Browne led a charge to keep the airline in the skies, under the new name of LIAT 2020 Ltd., citing its importance to regional transportation.
