The Investment Migration Agency of Grenada (IMA) has introduced the Citizenship by Invitation Initiative, a selective programme designed to attract high-calibre global leaders who can contribute to Grenada’s economic growth, innovation, and global partnerships.

Developed with Arton Capital and Forbes Global Talent, the initiative invites strategic investors in key sectors such as technology, renewable energy, and infrastructure, ensuring Grenada’s CBI programme remains competitive while maintaining the highest due diligence standards.

“This is about more than investment—it’s about partnership and progress,” said IMA CEO Thomas Anthony, emphasising the focus on sustainable growth. Armand Arton, CEO of Arton Capital, noted the programme’s efficiency compared to global counterparts. By attracting top business leaders, the initiative supports local entrepreneurs, fosters knowledge transfer, and strengthens Grenada’s international ties, securing long-term benefits for the nation.

Independence Day in Grenada is a vibrant national holiday celebrated with patriotic events, including parades, cultural performances, and flag-raising ceremonies. Citizens proudly wear red, gold, and green—the colours of the national flag—while schools and communities organise special programmes reflecting on the nation’s history, achievements, and cultural heritage.

Shops, schools, and banks close for the occasion, and the festivities attract both locals and tourists, who join in the celebrations. People dress up, visit loved ones, and commemorate the nation’s struggle for freedom. However, if the holiday falls on a weekend, the following Monday is not observed as a public holiday. Beyond the celebrations, the day serves as an opportunity to honour Grenada’s journey to independence, recognising its resilience, unity, and cultural identity as a nation.

Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister, James Marape, extended his country’s best wishes to New Zealand at the Waitangi Day commemoration hosted by the New Zealand High Commission. The event marked another milestone since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840, a foundational document in New Zealand’s nationhood.

In his address, Marape commended New Zealand’s achievements, describing it as a model of democratic governance and economic resilience. He highlighted its strong free-market economy and robust institutions, contributing to domestic prosperity and regional stability. He also acknowledged New Zealand’s leadership in fostering unity among Pacific nations and its commitment to regional development.

Marape praised New Zealand’s inclusive approach and multicultural society, noting that its values of tolerance and respect for diversity serve as an example for other nations. He reaffirmed Papua New Guinea’s commitment to strengthening ties with New Zealand, emphasising the need for continued cooperation in tackling shared challenges and promoting regional prosperity.
