Sen­a­tor Leroy Bap­tiste has en­dorsed the ad­dress de­liv­ered by Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar at the open­ing cer­e­mo­ny of the 50th Con­fer­ence of Heads of Gov­ern­ment of CARI­COM in St. Kitts and Nevis on Tues­day.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar ad­dressed the con­fer­ence un­der the theme “Be­yond Words: Ac­tion To­day for a Thriv­ing, Sus­tain­able CARI­COM.” She stat­ed that Trinidad and To­ba­go will re­main a part­ner in CARI­COM and called for gov­er­nance based on ac­tion. She said the 50th Reg­u­lar Meet­ing should ad­vance the qual­i­ty of life for cit­i­zens of Trinidad and To­ba­go and the re­gion.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar told Heads of Gov­ern­ment and del­e­gates that CARI­COM is built on co­or­di­na­tion and co­op­er­a­tion and must rep­re­sent all mem­ber states, not on­ly gov­ern­ing par­ties.
