RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS PAY COURTESY VISIT TO BARBUDA
Tuesday 26th March 2013

Russian Ambassador Vladimir Polenov and Russian Consul Andrey Dryakin were greeted and presented with a pictorial souvenir of Barbuda on a recent courtesy visit to Barbuda. The Russian delegates were on island for the recently concluded Russian Business Sailing Week of activities from March 16 – 23, 2013.  The sailing event, now in its fourth year, takes place every year in March and attracts as many as 200 high net worth business people primarily from Russia.



Local Barbuda officials Mr. Kelvin Punter and Mrs. Dorcas Beazer-Williams, were on hand for the Barbudan welcome.  Barbuda also hosted a day of racing, as sailing participants sailed to the sister isle, and there they were shown true island hospitality and local culinary delights.

Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Hon. John Maginley noted, “Russian Business Sailing Week continues to be a prominent feature to Antigua’s sailing calendar and it grows year upon year. This has been one of our more strategic collaborations, as it showcases the destination’s world-class sailing conditions but also allows Antigua and Barbuda to build on its relations with Russia, which is now one of the world’s leading emerging markets.”

While in Antigua, the businessmen paid courtesy calls to the Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Minister of Tourism and Leader of the Opposition all of whom gave their commitment to work with the group.
