I am pleased to be here in Washington DC today to participate in this inaugural Caribbean-United States Security Cooperation Dialogue.
I recall that it was approximately a year ago when the CARICOM Council for National Security and Law Enforcement met with a delegation from the United States in Suriname and agreed to the establishment of a Working Group “to craft a joint regional security strategy on an accompanying Plan of Action as well as a Provisional Agenda for the proposed high-level meeting in Washington DC.” At the time of your meeting, I was heading a delegation of CARICOM Attorneys-General in a caucus with the Attorney-General of the United States of America to discuss important matters relating to administration of Justice and Cooperation on crime and security matters. |
