PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Jan 28, CMC – Caribbean Community (CARICOM) chairman, Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew is to hold talks with Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar “this week,” the Guyana-based CARICOM Secretariat announced on Wednesday.
It gave no definitive date for the talks between two regional leaders, but said that the St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister, who assumed the chairmanship of the 15-member regional integration grouping earlier this month, will be accompanied by the CARICOM Secretary-General, Dr Carla Barnett.
“The meeting is part of the Chair’s focus on face-to-face discussions with regional leaders,” the statement said, adding that the CARICOM chairman met last week with the new Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr Godwin Friday, in Kingstown.
CARICOM leaders are due to meet in St. Kitts and Nevis from February 24-27 and in recent times the Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister has been critical of the integration movement following her country’s support for the United States war on drugs in the Caribbean.
