THE Prime Minister has confirmed that Chairman of the United States’ Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, will visit Trinidad on November 25 and meet with her at the Diplomatic Centre in Port of Spain.

The US Embassy made the announcement on its Facebook page, while the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) later issued a release confirming the meeting.

The OPM said that Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar will meet General Caine at the request of the United States and will focus on the two nations’ strong bi-lateral relationship, strengthening regional stability and the vital importance to both countries of countering the illicit traffic in drugs and transnational criminal organisations.
