Thursday, 21 January 2010 |
 Wednesday January 20, 2010, St. George’s: Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Peter David, has reported that “considerable progress’’ was made at the most recent round of maritime talks between Grenada and oil-rich Trinidad and Tobago.
Representatives of the two countries met in St. George’s last week as part of the Joint Boundary Commission.
Minister David said Tuesday another round of talks will be required before negotiations by the commission can be concluded. He is optimistic that a final deal could be reached, saying negotiators are closer to finding that exact point where Trinidad ends and Grenada begins.
“We have not yet concluded negotiations but I must say that there is an immense amount of optimism based on work done last Thursday and Friday,’’ Minister David told reporters.
A month after leading the National Democratic Congress to a general election victory in 2008, Prime Minister Hon. Tillman Thomas visited Trinidad and Tobago where he met with Prime Minister Patrick Manning. |

 ST.GEORGE’S, GRENADA, JANUARY 19th, 2010 - Prime Minister Tillman Thomas has described the response of his countrymen to Monday night’s Grenada-Haiti Mediathon as “overwhelming”. The programme, a collaborative effort of several media organisations, received pledges of over ECD 562,000 for the Government of Grenada Haiti Relief Fund.
“I am very pleased with the response of the Grenadian people to this effort. These funds will go to the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) to help with the immediate needs of our brothers and sisters in Haiti,” the Prime Minister said.
Prime Minister Thomas was high in praise for students, especially those in day care centers and pre-primary schools, who contributed more than ECD 14,000 to the Haiti relief effort.
He suggested that persons who did not have the opportunity to contribute during the programme can still do so by making deposits to the Government of Grenada Haiti Relief Fund, account number 121003657 at the Grenada Cooperative Bank. |

tWRF delegation meets with Prime Minister |
|
Wednesday, 20 January 2010 |
 A Willie Redhead Foundation delegation of four – namely Ray Smith, Cecil Edwards, Dalton Mc Guire and Norris Mitchell met with Prime Minister Tillman Thomas on Friday January 15, 2010 to obtain clarity on a number of points relating to the Zublin’s Renaissance Project for the City of St. George.
The Foundation’s raison d’être, whose original watchword was “ For the preservation and urban renewal of St. George’s”, was subsequently changed to” For the preservation and renewal of the National Heritage of Grenada” , and having pursued this mandate in one form or another over the past 15 years, felt that it is in a strategic position to make a significant contribution to the ongoing debate as to the pros and cons of the proposed project.
In this regard, the Foundation’s prime concern at this stage is the state of the urbanization of our Capital City, and is therefore in the process of gathering all the relevant facts relating to the City as a whole and the project in particular, before making an in depth analytical presentation to the public. |
