Rowley condemns London attack

A statement issued by the Office of the Prime Minister yesterday said Rowley denounced the horrific attack, expressed solidarity with the international community in condemning all such acts and offered thoughts and prayers to the families and loved ones of the victims.

Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Stuart Young expressed similar sentiments at the post-Cabinet news conference at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann’s on Thursday. Young said, “We stand in solidarity with them and with the rest of the world in condemning the attacks on the democracy of any country in the world.” Young also announced that Community Development, Culture and the Arts Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly and a member of the Trinidad Theatre Workshop will represent this country at the funeral of Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott in St Lucia today. Walcott lived in Trinidad for 20 years and founded the TTW in 1959.
