By Makeida Antonio (Antigua Observer) Increased cooperation, Covid-19 challenges and economic recovery were some of the main features of Prime Minister Gaston Browne’s address at the Ninth Summit of the Americas.
Browne opened with his displeasure that certain countries were not invited to discuss critical issues demanding collective focus.
He called for an end to the trade embargo against Cuba which he believes harms the promotion of peace and prosperity.
Additionally, Browne urged fellow leaders to engage the Venezuelan government to allow for resources to meet the needs of its citizens.
“To achieve this, there is work to be done by all sides to narrow differences, and establish cooperation, in the interest of advancing the economic, social and political well-being of all the peoples of our hemisphere.”
