Prime Minister Friday welcomed the visit and pledged SVG’s continued commitment to collaboration within the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). “We have very strong relationships, and I want to pledge my commitment to deepening that relationship so we can work collaboratively for our people,” he said.
