Santo Domingo’s push toward CARICOM gets a boost: Caribbean Journal
Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic’s push to join the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) got a boost last week when Trinidad Prime Minister and organization Chairman Kamla Persad-Bissessar called for the Spanish-speaking country’s full membership to the regional economic bloc, Caribbean Journal reports. Quoting Barbados Prime Minister Freundel Stuart, the Caribbean outlet reports on the leader’s position, just three days after Dominican Republic president Danilo Medina attended a meeting of CARICOM nations to mark its 40th anniversary, held in Trinidad & Tobago. “We met with the leader of the Dominican Republic; he addressed our caucus [last week] and re-committed himself and re-committed the Dominican Republic to joining the movement at such time that it would be convenient for all the perceivable imperatives to be satisfied,” Stuart said.
