The government has broken its silence on the decision to withhold its support for Caricom’s calls for the region to remain a zone of peace.

On October 18, Caricom released a statement reaffirming the principle of maintaining the Caribbean region as a zone of peace. In the statement, though, it noted TT had “reserved its position.”

Caricom’s position was crafted after regional heads met virtually to discuss the security build-up in the Caribbean and the potential impacts on member states.
