House Speaker Jagdeo Singh said on Friday he would take no small pride in serving the House and the beloved republic faithfully and steadfastly while seeking to maintain the highest parliamentary stan­dards and traditions.

Just before giving his Indian Arrival Day greeting in Parliament, Singh thanked MPs for the “immense honour” of electing him as Speak­er of the House of Representatives for the 13th Parliament.

He said Trinidad and To­bago was much admired through­out the world for its healthy democracy and the in­stitutions which keep it alive.
