Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley on Facebook:

Today, as Barbados celebrates National Heroes Day — the birthday of the Right Excellent Sir Grantley Adams and the seventy-fifth anniversary of universal adult suffrage, we are reminded of the enduring gift of democracy.

It is therefore a pleasure, on behalf of the Government and people of Barbados, and as Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to extend warm congratulations to Prime Minister Designate, Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar and the United National Congress on their success.
