Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne has called for a Summit between CARICOM and the European Union to be hosted in the region.
He made the call during an engagement with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during the Caricom Heads of Government Meeting, which is underway in Barbados.
Prime Minister Browne says the summit would discuss a broad range of issues, including trade, artificial intelligence, climate change and reparations.
The proposed summit was warmly received by CARICOM Heads and the European delegation.
The Prime Minister also explained that persistent misunderstandings regarding the management of Citizenship by Investment Programmes in the region would require further dialogue to ensure that European leaders understood the importance of these programmes to the development of the region.
He also assured the European delegation that the necessary due diligence was being adhered throughout the management of these programmes.
I think it would be a good thing to have a summit between CARICOM and the European Union in the region.
I agree with Luka. Thing is when PM Browne goes out there he represents. He is not afraid and not ashamed to say what he wants. When it comes to fighting for this likkle nation here…Gaston is the man for them.
Just imagine Jamal going to rep antigua and forums like these? I have nothing against the black chocolate but we don’t hear much of him. We don’t hear him. And when we want to listen to him he walks out of parliament
having discussions and nothing comes out of it defeats the purpose, so I hope it’s not all talk and no action
Good initiative PM. You always have some great ideas
