We also extend our sympathies to the staff of the British High Commission here in Saint Lucia and to our friends in the United Kingdom. Our thoughts are with you at this time.”

While condemning the attack the Prime Minister also expressed solidarity in the fight against acts of terror.

Said the Prime Minister: “We stand with Britain at this time and condemn this act and all acts of terror.”
