Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, on behalf of the government and people of Trinidad and Tobago, extends warmest welcome and congratulations to United States president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris.

Given the close familial ties of both our countries and our joint economic and security connections, we look forward to the strengthening of those bonds in the months and years ahead.

We, as Caribbean people filled with pride, extend a special accolade to vice president-elect Kamala Harris as we acknowledge her Caribbean roots and wish both office holders a very successful term—not only for the American citizens but for all the people of the world.
