The Virgin Islands’ special envoy has called for closer collaboration between Latin America and the Caribbean, arguing that deeper cross-border ties are critical to accelerating development across the region.
Benito Wheatley made the call last month at the 22nd Meeting of the Monitoring Committee of the Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee in Port of Spain, Trinidad, according to a press release he circulated afterwards.
Mr. Wheatley, who is currently the CDCC vice chair, urged Caribbean governments to take better advantage of “south-south” cooperation opportunities with Latin America.
