British Virgin Islands’ leader praises CARICOM’s advances

Georgetown, Feb 27 (Prensa Latina) British Virgin Islands Prime Minister Natalio Wheatley said that the Community of Caribbean States (CARICOM) is making progress in many areas, including food security, in an interview published on Tuesday by a local media.

“I see that we are beginning to reach our goals of achieving better results in that field,” the PM added in statements to the Guyanese Department of Public Information, on the sidelines of his participation here in the 46th Conference of Heads of Government of the bloc.

The PM considered that there is in the region “greater food security, as CARICOM advances in its efforts to meet its goals in many areas.”

The authority attributed those economic advances “to the vision and leadership of the rotating President of CARICOM and Guyana’s Head of State Mohamed Irfaan Ali,” who presided over the business session of the Ordinary Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government at the Marriott Hotel in the capital.

Wheatley insisted, “We know that we can deal with hurricanes, weather disasters, but also that the region can do much better on food security. The potential and the opportunities are there. And, with the leadership of President Irfaan Ali, we are beginning to meet our goals.”

The head of the Road Town Government based his criteria on the potential of the Guyanese leader, author of the lately transformations experienced by Guyana, and reaffirmed that “the British Virgin Islands is enthusiastic about the success and prosperity of this nation.”

The strengthening of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy was the subject of discussions on Monday, the second day of the 46th Conference of Heads of Government of the bloc, which will conclude tomorrow.
