PM Browne concludes busy round of engagements at CARICOM Summit

It was one of the busiest CARICOM Summits to be attended by Prime Minister
Gaston Browne and his team when they gathered in Trinidad and Tobago for the
45 th Heads of Government meeting that also marked the integration movement’s
50 th anniversary.
As much as he was fully engaged in the official business of the conference that saw
representatives from several friendly governments, expressing solidarity and
commitment to CARICOM and its member states, PM Browne also used the
occasion to engage in bilateral discussions with representatives of some of these
governments.
Among those with whom he met was the President of the Republic of South Korea
and with whom PM Browne held the latest of a series of high-level discussions at
the margins of the summit.
Antigua and Barbuda and South Korea have enjoyed friendly relations ever since
both countries established diplomatic ties back in the early 1980s.
South Korea has demonstrated its support for Antigua and Barbuda’s development
by offering a series of scholarships for senior government officials among others.
The country has also made available to the government, a fleet of vehicles utilized
by the police department and in particular, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The prime minister also held talks with senior officials of the U.S., Canada, and the
People’s Republic of China among others during his attendance at the conference.
