Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne has opened the new year standing firm on his criticism of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, while signalling a willingness to engage in dialogue to ease regional tensions and resolve long-standing financial disputes.
Speaking in a New Year’s Eve interview with state-owned ABS TV, Browne described Persad-Bissessar’s renewed characterisation of Caricom as an “unreliable partner” as “divisive” and “unfortunate”.
However, he said he had no interest in escalating a public feud, framing his response instead as a necessary correction rooted in what he described as historical facts about the benefits Trinidad and Tobago has derived from regional integration.
