BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – CHAIRMAN of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas made a call for the regional integration movement to work closely with its Central American nations that will encourage and facilitate greater interaction between the peoples of the two Regions at all levels including commercial.
He made this call while delivering remarks at the Opening of the Third Summit of the CARICOM and of the Central America Integration System (SICA) in San Salvador, El Salvador, also noting that there have been successful commercial ventures on both sides in telecommunications, air transportation and the distributive trade sectors.
“The Business Forum staged here yesterday involving the private sector of both Regions is a major step in the right direction. We must continue such discourse and widen it and I therefore look forward to there being continuing discussions, at the requisite levels, to ensure maximum benefit in critical areas,” he said.
Dr. Douglas was of the view that the time is propitious for both Regions to come together to explore realistic and practical means of co-operation for mutual benefit.
