Furthermore, the Government of Saint Lucia calls for an immediate end to all hostilities and a return to the peaceful coexistence of all parties.
The Government and people of Saint Lucia avail ourselves of this opportunity to reiterate our respect and recognition of newly elected President Luis lnacio Lula Da Silva, as we look forward to further strengthening relations with the new Government of Brazil.
