Media Release: United Nation Security Council (UNSC) Seat a “Momentous Achievement”

Excerpt: "This achievement could not have occurred at a more opportune time. It comes on the heels of Trinidad
and Tobago being removed from the EU list of non-compliant tax jurisdictions and amounts to further
testament of our global strength," the Finance Minister said.

"It was a personal mission of the Prime Minister to secure our appointment to the UN Security Council,
one which she pursued with rigour and passion, beginning with her participation at the United Nations
(UN) General Assembly in New York in 2025; She deserves the applause of every Trinidadian and
Tobagonian at home and in the diaspora. The UNSC seat makes T&T an even more attractive destination
for international investment as this country undertakes its economic transformation", Minister Tancoo
added.
