The gathering of more than 450 people joined Barbados’ Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Tony Marshall, in celebrating the occasion.
“I deem it an honour to be invited by the CBONY to bring you a greeting message this year 2016 [as] Barbados celebrates its 50th anniversary of Independence as well as its 50th anniversary as a member of the United Nations,” said Marshall. (CJ)
