Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Baldwin Spencer says that the regional integration movement, despite its many challenges, is meeting agreed targets and achieving milestones in its development.
Spencer, who is also Lead Head of Government with responsibility for Services in the CSME (Caricom Single Market and Economy), made this observation recently at the launching of the Grenada Coalition of Service Industries, at the Grenada National Stadium, said a press release from the Caricom Secretariat at Turkeyen.
According to Spencer, “the launch of the Grenada Coalition of Service Industries represents a feat in perseverance, and focused and positive tenacity in the face of severe economic and social challenges.”
He noted that they have stayed the regional course in the pursuit of long-term national, economic and social sustainability.
Given the challenges confronting the region at this time, he said, “this achievement should be mounted on a hill for all throughout the region, including those who claim that the CSME is a floundering experiment, so that they may see that the regional integration movement, despite its many challenges, is meeting agreed targets and achieving milestones in its development.”
He also assured that the year 2012 offers many opportunities for everyone in the sector, especially the national coalitions, the release added.
