Minister
Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade. The Ministry is responsible for coordinating Saint Vincent and the Grenadines' relations with foreign governments, as well as regional and international organizations. It seeks to create opportunities for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the field of foreign trade through the negotiation and monitoring of the relevant agreements and treaties.
The flag of St.Vincent and the Grenadines was officially adopted on October 12, 1985. The green diamonds are shaped in a ‘V’ for St. Vincent, and reflect the plural nature of the many islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. These gems define St. Vincent and the Grenadines as the gem of the Antilles. The blue represents the sky and sea. The gold is for warmth, the bright spirit of the people and the golden sands of the Grenadines. The green represents the lush vegetation of St. Vincent’s agriculture and the enduring vitality of the people. The flag is sometimes called “The Gems”.
Land of my birth I pledge to thee,
My loyalty and devotion,
In all I think or say or do
Verse 1
St. Vincent land so beautiful,
With joyful hearts we pledge to thee,
Our loyalty and love and vow,
To keep you ever free.
Chorus
Whate’er the future brings,
Our faith will see us through,
May peace reign from shore to shore,
And God bless and keep us true.
Verse 2
Harioun our fair and blessed isle,
Your mountains high, so clear and green,
Are home to me, though I may stray,
A haven, calm serene.
Chorus
Verse 3
Our little sister islands are,
Those gems, the lovely Grenadines,
Upon their seas and golden sands,
The sunshine ever beams.
