Chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Dr. Timothy Harris is set to travel to San José, Costa Rica, where he will engage in follow-up high-level talks with the International Contact Group (ICG) on Venezuela to discuss important next steps.
In late March, the CARICOM Chairman visited Ecuador for discussions with the International Contact Group on Venezuela, which was holding its second meeting at the ministerial level in Quito, the Ecuadorian capital.
The ICG issued a communiqué after its Quito meeting, stating that the International Contact Group “expresses its willingness to increase contacts with regional and international partners in order to foster a common understanding and response to the situation in Venezuela.”
The statement added that the ICG would reconvene at the ministerial level at the beginning of May in Costa Rica. The Ministerial Meeting of the ICG is scheduled to take place today, Monday, May 6th – Tuesday, May 7th.
The ICG held its inaugural meeting in Uruguay in early February. Immediately following the ICG’s first meeting, Federica Mogherini, the European Union’s Foreign Policy Chief met with the CARICOM Chairman and members of his high-level delegation in the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo.
