Prime Minister Philip Davis is back in the country after attending the CARICOM Heads of Government meeting in St. Kitts and Nevis where Caribbean leaders and government officials gathered to discuss various issues affecting the region.
Press Secretary Keishla Adderley yesterday divulged that migration and US visa halts were amongst topics discussed during the meeting, which was also attended by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“The issue of migration was one of the top issues during those discussions, including the visa issue,” Adderley said.
“As you know late last year, a decision was taken by the United States to put a hold on the application process, the processing of non-tourist visas and that of course was cause for concern for CARICOM governments and governments elsewhere, [and] of course for persons who travel and may want to work in the United States.”
