KINGSTON, Jamaica - Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller is heading a high-level team of Jamaicans who will travel to Caracas, Venezuela, today to attend the funeral for that nation's late president, Hugo Chávez. Energy Minister Phillip Paulwell and Foreign Affairs Minister A.J. Nicholson are accompanying the prime minister. Also joining the delegation are Senator Angela Brown Burke, mayor of Kingston and vice-president of the People's National Party; Senator Robert Montague, opposition representative and chairman of the Jamaica Labour Party; Clifton Stone, former ambassador to Venezuela, and the prime minister's support and security team. Paulwell's ministry is most closely associated with Chávez's generosity to Jamaica under the PetroCaribe agreement between Jamaica and Venezuela, the world's fifth-largest oil exporter.
