BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Aug 18, CMC – Prime Minister Mia Mottley says Barbados will honour its commitment to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) grouping as she outlined the conditions under which foreigners could obtain Barbadian citizenship.
“ My friends, let us be clear about who we are inviting home first. It is our Bajan family, our extended Bajan family. We will move from citizenship as a right for children of Bajans to citizenship as a right, down to great grandchildren.
“Because the first claim on Barbados must be those whose roots run deepest in our soil, and a great grandchild is as important to a great grandparent as their child and their grandchild. It is immediate and close,” Mottley said in a radio and television broadcast on Sunday night.
“We will also honour our CARICOM family with preferential treatment in the acquisition of citizenship. Beyond family, we will welcome skills and investment that lift productivity, expand opportunity and safeguard the Barbadian way of life,” she added.
