With an attractive yellow backdrop, the first OECS 25th Anniversary banner for Air and Sea Ports was mounted on Thursday May 25th at the George Charles Airport in Vigie Castries St. Lucia.

The banner positioned in the arrival lounge of the George Charles Airport is targeting the many OECS nationals who frequent that area on a daily basis as well as others to enhance awareness of the OECS and participation in the many activities organised for “OECS 25”. The banner displays the official OECS 25th Anniversary logo and a simple message to encourage support for the integration effort. 

The OECS Secretariat has sought the support of OECS Air and Sea Ports Authorities in sponsoring the banner for their respective countries.

The OECS 25th Anniversary banner for Air and Sea Ports in the OECS complements audio and video jingles regarding the landmark achievement of the regional integration machinery. 

The ceremonial hoisting of the first ever OECS flag and the unveiling of a new OECS Economic Union Treaty will be among key events when OECS Heads of Government, representatives of international development partners and other regional and international dignitaries return to the birthplace of the OECS, Basseterre St. Kitts/Nevis, in June this year to continue celebrations of the Organisation’s 25th anniversary.

The Heads and other delegates will gather at the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) headquarters on the morning of June 21st for the ceremonial first raising of the OECS Flag, which was selected from among submissions by groups and individuals across the OECS region. The new OECS Flag will, from then on, be flown alongside flags of Member States at all OECS regional events.
