As he begins his tenure as Caricom chair through to June 30, St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew has acknowledged that he assumes the role at a moment of acute pressure, shaped by geopolitical uncertainty and growing questions about the bloc’s unity and relevance.
Drew said “unity” sits at the forefront of his agenda, noting that he has already held face-to-face discussions with the prime ministers of St Vincent and the Grenadines and Antigua and Barbuda to gather candid feedback on Caricom’s direction. He also confirmed that he formally expressed his willingness to meet with Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, though he did not say whether she has responded.
