Feb 26, 2025

Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) have established an inter-governmental working group to advance arrangements to improve maritime transportation in the Region.

Senator the Hon. Dr. Amery Browne, Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs, will head the working group which will include other ministers from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The Hon Mia Amor Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados and Chair of CARICOM, made the announcement at a press conference on Friday, 21 February 2025, following the 48th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government in Barbados.

The Chair said that within the next six weeks, the working group must identify steps towards the mutual recognition of drivers’ licences, insurance products, harmonising customs and phyto-sanitary regulations, and removing non-tariff barriers for the smooth intra-regional movement of goods.
