The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Ambassador Albert Ramdin, met this week with the Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Denzil Douglas, in Washington, DC. The meeting took place in advance of the OAS Member State’s assumption of the chairmanship of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
Among the matters discussed at the high-level meeting were OAS cooperation programs and development projects in CARICOM countries, the preparation work towards the Sixth Summit of the Americas in Colombia next year, and economic challenges to all CARICOM states.
Prime Minister Douglas and Assistant Secretary General Ramdin agreed that the principal areas of concern for the Caribbean are: job creation, public security, skills training, and capacity building (education). Prime Minister Douglas also identified the tourism sector in the Caribbean as an area requiring significant support, given increasing competition in the tourism sector combined with current global economic constraints. According to Assistant Secretary General Ramdin, “the OAS will work to strengthen support mechanisms for tourism development programs in the Caribbean.”
The Caribbean Community comprises approximately 45 percent of the membership of the OAS. According to Ambassador Ramdin, “Issues affecting CARICOM will continue to be taken very seriously at the Hemispheric institution.”
