May your hopes for the New Year be fulfilled.

2008 opens with the promise of a number of substantial direct private investments that can swiftly transform the economy and set all sectors on a pronounced upward curve.

Fellow Antiguans and Barbudans here at home and in other lands;

Residents, Visitors and Friends of Antigua and Barbuda:Happy New Year!

May you be resolute in keeping your New Year resolutions.

The Government is putting mechanisms and measures in place to ensure equitable distribution of the opportunities that a number of anticipated major development projects will generate.

May life be better for you and your loved ones and may you enjoy good health and good fortune in the New Year.

This can mean significant levels of new job opportunities for small contractors and other persons operating small businesses.

As we look forward in anticipation of positive things to come in the New Year, it is also time for reflection on the events of the year just passed.

We have come to the end of a momentous and historic year.

For those whose long stranglehold on power was finally broken by the people, 2004 was a tumultuous, turbulent and traumatic year.

Antigua and Barbuda has good reasons to look forward to the New Year with optimism.

The Antiguan and Barbudan people have much to contemplate as the old year gives way to the new.

For all in Antigua and Barbuda, for all who care about this country, 2004 was the predicted Year of Change.

It was a prophecy that was to dramatically come to pass on the 23rd of March, 2004.

It was the destiny of the United Progressive Party to be the chosen instrument for change in Antigua and Barbuda's first general election in the new century and in the new millennium.

Indeed, Antiguans and Barbudans of all callings and all groupings have responded admirably to the challenge of change.

I thank the Antiguan and Barbudan people for giving the best they've got in the task of reconstruction and renewal of our nation.

His Excellency, the Governor General, Sir James Beethoven Carlisle, has been a generous exemplar in his ready cooperation and in his valued counsel.

To an intently watching world, this was Antigua and Barbuda's finest hour.

The Government came to office recognising that the monumental task of renewal and reconstruction confronting the nation would require the participation of the wider society, beyond the boundaries of the political system.

The extent of that participation has been gratifying.

At this most critical juncture in our nation's life our Governor General has stood well over ten feet tall.

I salute Sir James.

When criminal elements appeared to be stepping up a reign of terror against the society, I called upon the police for a swift and effective response.

Our Police force is delivering.

This is despite the systematic efforts of a recalcitrant minority bent on subverting the programmes of the government, and bent on tarnishing and diminishing the aspirations and the achievements of the Antiguan and Barbudan people.

I am grateful that Sir James stayed on to provide a pillar of stability in the transition from the previous administration to "Government in the Sunshine".

Sir James has served his country well.

The nation is grateful.

We are grateful, too, for the protection our police men and women provided to the national community during the Christmas Season.

The public service, by and large, has measured up to the challenge of change.

This was markedly so in the preparation of the first Budget in this country to be presented ahead of its period of implementation.

Though less sharply defined, sterling efforts from officers throughout the public service enabled the country to navigate the challenging course of change that came with the transition between administrations and political and government cultures.

I am appreciative of the many successes of the Office of National Drug Control Policy in the war against the trafficking and the cultivation of narcotics.

The ONDCP's $25 Million Drug Bust was a spectacular victory in our war against the drug cartels and their local connections.

Alec Vanderpoole, the Director of the ONDCP, has been doing an impressive job.

The ONDCP, the Defence Force and the Police Force have been effective allies in the fight against the drug trade and the crimes of violence that trade spawns.

The introduction of free school uniforms was a major challenge.

Officers of the Ministry of Education managed the introduction of free uniform for the nation's primary and secondary school students with commendable efficiency.

They ensured that early in the new school year, Free School Uniforms were available for every student in the school system.

I commend them all.I especially commend Mrs. Anne Jonas, on her leadership of the Free School Uniform project.

Our customs officers and other officers of the Ministry of Finance met the challenges of the Dollar Barrel programme with singular success.

I also applaud the initiative of the members of the Contractors Association and others in undertaking to refurbish and refurnish Holberton Hospital out of their own resources.

Care providers in other institutions are also rendering sterling service to the persons in their care.

I commend those care providers, too.
