CARICOM chairman and St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew has said Trinidad and Tobago was informed and invited to a retreat in Nevis where the decision was taken on the reappointment of Caricom Secretary-General Dr Carla Barnett.

In a letter dated April 8 to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Drew stated that all member states were properly informed of the retreat where the decision was taken and that Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers did not attend the Nevis retreat because of personal issues with using the water-taxi transit.

Drew said all member states had been “duly informed” of the programme of events and draft agenda for the 50th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government held in St Kitts and Nevis from February 24 to 27.
