Brades, Oct 20 (Prensa Latina) The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) continued here today a summit focused on regional transport, climate change and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economies of their nations.

The bankruptcy of the regional airline LIAT seriously hampered the movement of people and goods in this area of ​​the American continent, lamented the host and Prime Minister of Montserrat, Joseph Farrell.

‘Therefore, as a region we must work together and with other interest groups to find a lasting solution for reliable transport’, said the head of the Antigua and Barbuda Government, Gaston Browne.

I hope we can contribute from our respective positions to the reestablishment of a travel mechanism, he added, while he defended his opinion of the existing capacity to face the coming challenges.

Grenada’s Prime Minister, Dickon Mitchell, considered transportation is necessary to ensure greater regional integration.

In another order, he recounted his plan to follow Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for the elimination of identification cards to enter his country.

The two-day OECS summit was also attended by the leaders of Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
