As regional leaders convene in Montego Bay, Jamaica, today for the 49th Caricom Heads of Government meeting, this country’s Prime Minister will be unexplainably absent. This means Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has chosen to skip the first Caricom meeting of this magnitude to occur during her second term as Prime Minister.
This has drawn sharp criticism from former Foreign and Caricom Affairs minister Dr Amery Browne, who told Guardian Media that this is sending all the wrong messages to the regional body.
Leading up to today’s opening ceremony at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, Persad-Bissessar was listed on Caricom’s website as one of the opening speakers at the event.
