Re­port­ing from Mon­tego Bay, Ja­maica

Prime Min­is­ter of St Vin­cent and the Grenadines Dr Ralph Gon­salves has once again in­vit­ed Trinidad and To­ba­go to join the Re­gion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Sys­tem (RSS), stat­ing that the ini­tia­tive could sig­nif­i­cant­ly as­sist the coun­try in tack­ling its crime chal­lenges.

The RSS is an in­ter­na­tion­al agree­ment for the de­fence and se­cu­ri­ty of the East­ern Caribbean re­gion. The stat­ed goal of the RSS is to pro­vide mu­tu­al as­sis­tance to its mem­ber states on re­quest, par­tic­u­lar­ly in times of na­tion­al emer­gen­cies, se­cu­ri­ty threats, and nat­ur­al dis­as­ters.
