To­day marks 180 years since the ar­rival of East In­di­an an­ces­tors to the shores of Trinidad and To­ba­go—a mile­stone steeped in sac­ri­fice, en­durance, and cul­tur­al rich­ness. In a mes­sage com­mem­o­rat­ing In­di­an Ar­rival Day 2025, Min­is­ter of Fi­nance and Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Fyz­abad, Dav­en­dranath Tan­coo, paid trib­ute to their jour­ney and lega­cy.

“Their jour­ney was one of hard­ship and hope, sac­ri­fice and strength—and their lega­cy con­tin­ues to shape the vi­brant cul­tur­al fab­ric of Trinidad and To­ba­go,” Min­is­ter Tan­coo said.

He de­scribed the na­tion as one born of many roots, where di­ver­si­ty forms the foun­da­tion of strength.

“Like the notes of a well-com­posed song, our di­verse her­itages blend to cre­ate a melody that is unique­ly Trinidad and To­ba­go. This har­mo­ny is our strength,” he as­serts.

Call­ing on the pub­lic to re­flect on the day with grat­i­tude and pride, Min­is­ter Tan­coo en­cour­aged all cit­i­zens to look to the fu­ture with uni­ty and de­ter­mi­na­tion.

“I ex­tend my warmest wish­es to all cit­i­zens on this im­por­tant oc­ca­sion,” he said. “May we con­tin­ue to grow to­geth­er in peace and pros­per­i­ty.”

“May God bless you, and may God bless our beloved Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go,” he added.
