Trinidad and Tobago Marks 63rd Independence Anniversary

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is today celebrating its 63rd year of independence. Having gained freedom from British colonial rule in 1958, the twin-island nation is not only a haven of multiculturalism but also a significant player in the Caribbean’s economic and political landscape. This year, the festivities are tinged with added significance as the country navigates the challenges of a global pandemic while continuing to uphold its democratic values and cultural traditions. As the country marks another year of sovereignty, the spirit of resilience and unity among its people remains stronger than ever.
