While speaking on his weekly radio programme “Ask the Prime Minister” Dr. Douglas said, “We in the government … keenly understand the importance of continuing the brain storming, the hard work and the on-going quest for ways to enhance the competitive edge that got us here.”
He continued, “Each time these international rankings are announced, I visualise not the ranking themselves but what they mean to the local engineers, and to local builders who are very well in position to get the construction related contracts that are triggered by these rankings.“
Prime Minister Douglas also pointed out the new efficiencies of immigration now being experienced at the RLB International Airport, citing the change as one of the many ways in which we can keep the “competitive edge”
