"We (Saint Kitts and Nevis) have one of the highest per capita GDP's in the entire Caribbean. We continue to attract more foreign direct investment than any other Caribbean nation despite the global economic downturn. And our reputation for sound economic management has been repeatedly affirmed by the international financial community just as you (Ma Ying-jeou) alluded to earlier, as a result of the collaboration between our nations (Saint Kitts and Nevis and the Republic of China)."
