Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers has rejected claims made by Dr Ralph Gonsalves that he declined to attend a Caricom retreat in Nevis due to seasickness, insisting the remark was made in jest.
Former St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves alleged that Sobers was not disinvited from the Nevis retreat but instead chose not to attend the February 26 event, citing seasickness.
Gonsalves’ comments contradict the Government’s position that Trinidad and Tobago was excluded from the vote to reappoint Dr Carla Barnett after Caricom did not recognise Sobers as head of the national delegation following Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s departure. The Government has said this prevented Trinidad and Tobago from participating in the election.
