ST JOHN’S, Antigua- Culture Minister Eleston “Namba” Adams has defended his decision to select 89 people to represent Antigua & Barbuda at the Caribbean Festival of Arts (Carifesta) 2013 to be held in Suriname.
He said not only is sending such a large delegation necessary to emphasise the importance of the cultural industry, but also allows talented young people a chance to represent the country.
“We have to prepare our people. It is a sustainable industry and many people these days even doctors and lawyers are turning to the cultural industry,” the minister explained.
