Statement of Condolence

The Commission of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) expresses deep regret on the passing of Mr. Brendon Browne, former Eastern Caribbean States High Commissioner in Ottawa, Canada.

Mr. Browne served as the Eastern Caribbean States High Commissioner in Canada for a period of four (4) years (from 2007 to 2011) during which time he also provided support to the operations of the Eastern Caribbean Liaison Service, an office established to administer Member States' interests in the Canada/Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme (SAWP).

As a diplomat, Mr. Browne served the Organisation and its Member States well. He was deeply concerned about the need for capacity development in the field of diplomacy/protocol in the OECS region. The concern led him to author the book entitled "Protocol and You" — a useful reference on matters relating to protocol. The contributions of Mr. Browne to the development of the OECS region, particularly in the field of diplomacy, will always be remembered.

The Commission extends its sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Mr. Brendon Browne and to the Government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

About The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States

Back to www.oecs.int

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is an International Organisation dedicated to economic harmonisation and integration, protection of human and legal rights, and the encouragement of good governance among independent and non-independent countries in the Eastern Caribbean. The OECS came into being on June 18th 1981, when seven Eastern Caribbean countries signed a treaty agreeing to cooperate with each other while promoting unity and solidarity among its Members. The Treaty became known as the Treaty of Basseterre, so named in honour of the capital city of St. Kitts and Nevis where it was signed. The OECS today, currently has eleven members, spread across the Eastern Caribbean comprising Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and The Grenadines, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Martinique and Guadeloupe.
