Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves is travelling to Guyana today, where he will be participating in the regional stakeholder consultation on the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).
The activity takes place in Guyana from June 8-9, 2018 at the Ramada Princess Hotel and is being hosted by CARICOM Secretary-General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque.
Prime Minister Gonsalves and former Prime Minister of Jamaica, Mr. Bruce Golding will be engaging in a high level session focused on making the CSME more effective.
That session takes place on the first day of the Consultation and will be chaired by Mr. Joseph Cox, Assistant Secretary-General, of Trade and Economic Integration, at the CARICOM Secretariat.
Following the high level session, a series of panels will discuss whether the CSME as currently configured sufficiently supports sustainable growth and development and the free movement of skills and persons as an integrating measure among other areas.
The consultation is being facilitated with the assistance of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).
