T&T To Establish Embassy In United Arab Emirates

Trinidad and Tobago will be opening its first embassy in the Middle East, in the United Arab Emirates.

Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs Sean Sobers confirmed this in the House of Representatives this afternoon as he outlined the outcomes of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC’s visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, where she held bilateral meetings with several heads of delegation.

“Trinidad and Tobago also continued to attract international donor financing as a direct result of the Honourable Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar’s diplomatic outreach by obtaining a commitment for a major grant from the Government of the United Arab Emirates for critical equipment for the Couva Children’s Hospital. And I have the permission from the Cabinet and the Prime Minister to indicate that Trinidad and Tobago will, for the very first time, open an embassy in the United Arab Emirates, being the first embassy in the Middle East.”
