Notably, the new area rep for Toledo East Osmond Martinez was not present today but - he may have been returning from a major regional summit in Brazil where he rubbed shoulders with regional leaders.
A government release says "the high-level meeting brought together heads of government and senior officials from CARICOM and Brazil to strengthen regional cooperation across critical areas, including food and nutrition security, climate change, energy transition, disaster risk management, and connectivity."
Martinez, as Minister of State in the Ministry of Economic Transformation, delivered the Government's remarks.
