EDITORIAL - Reject DR’s Xenophobia

Sep 30, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica - The Caribbean Community (CARICOM), of which Jamaica is a member and for which we carry the lead on issues of external relations, has a free-trade agreement with the Dominican Republic.
CARICOM and the Dominican Republic (DR) form CARIFORUM, a vehicle for pursuing certain common interests, including a trade pact with the European Union known as the Economic Partnership Agreement.
We assume, therefore, that the Dominican Republic values, and wants to maintain, its relationship with CARICOM, a grouping of 15, mostly English-speaking Caribbean countries.
