BAHAMAS INDEPENDENCE IS CELEBRATED IN WASHINGTON AT OAS
July 11, 2002
The 29th anniversary of Bahamian independence, observed on July 10, was featured in Washington, D.C., with a reception and historical exhibition that opened Tuesday evening at the Organization of American States (OAS) Headquarters. "The Exploration and Settlement of The Bahamas, 1500-1700" draws on historical documents and information that were mounted courtesy of the Department of Archives of The Bahamas.
Ambassador Joshua Sears opened the exhibition, which was followed by a reception attended by hundreds of Bahamian nationals, friends, diplomats and U.S. government officials as well as the OAS Secretary General, César Gaviria. The Bahamian envoy presented the guests with highlights of developments in the Caribbean nation during the past year, noting in particular the general elections of last May, which ushered in a new administration.
"The government of The Bahamas is committed to deepening the democratic process, and most noteworthy is the declaration to consult the Bahamian people on every major decision affecting their lives and livelihood," Ambassador Sears told the guests.
He noted as well the government's emphasis on health, education, national security and measures designed to maintain a healthy economy—priorities he said are underlined in the budget Parliament approved recently. He singled out for particular mention the Inter-American Convention against Terrorism, which his government along with 30 other OAS member countries signed during the Organization's recent 32nd General Assembly in Barbados.
The Bahamian independence reception also featured typical cuisine and prizes of round trip tickets to Nassau by US Airways, whose representative also announced plans to begin direct flights to The Bahamas out of Washington, DC's Reagan National Airport.
