ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, Jul 31, CMC -Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders ended their summit here on Tuesday night, unable to sign off on the arrangements to facilitate the free and full movement of CARICOM nationals.
The leaders had originally hoped to have put the process in place by the end of March as had been hoped following their summit in Guyana earlier this year.
The regional leaders were due to have met in mid-March for the anticipated sign-off on the arrangements but it appears that there continues to be outstanding matters that must be resolved before full free movement can be operationalised.
Speaking to reporters at the news conference marking the end of their three-day summit here, host Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, who is also the CARICOM chairman, said “what I can say is that we are not there yet.
