ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, Mar 18, CMC- Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called on African and Caribbean countries to rethink their economic policies so as to make them more beneficial to their populations.
Browne made the call while welcoming a delegation from the Regent of Abagana Kingdom located in Anambra State, Nigeria. The delegation is headed by Dr. Nwachukwu Anakwenze who will soon be installed as King of Abagana Kingdom.
“We have not reached our full potential because of the plundering that took place in Africa and here in the Caribbean where most economies were turned into ‘extractive’ economies with the wealth of the lands …created generational wealth in Europe and elsewhere while at the same time creating poverty in both regions,” Browne said.
