Discussions underway at the Post-Election Seminar in the Parliament of St Lucia, led by Hon. Claudius J. Francis, Speaker of the House of Assembly.

The Parliament of St Lucia invited the UK branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association to facilitate a Post-Election Seminar. The programme was delivered over three days by a cross-party delegation from the UK Parliament.

The programme followed St Lucia's General Election of June 2021 and was designed and delivered as a partnership between the parliaments of the UK and St Lucia. We allocated space in the programme for the mutual sharing of knowledge and experiences to foster a peer-to-peer learning approach.

The UK delegation was in St Lucia from 29 November to 3 December 2021. In addition to the parliamentary programme, the delegation conducted bilateral meetings on the impact of COVID-19, sustainable development and regional issues in the Eastern Caribbean.
