With the economic challenges arising out of the advent of the coronavirus pandemic still some distance away from being overcome, the Biden administration is reportedly in the process of formulating plans for a Caribbean Region Trade Mission and Business Conference in October.
A spokesman for Washington on the planned event – Ian Saunders, Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Western Hemisphere, US Department of Commerce – is reported as saying that the Mission will seek to connect US companies to opportunities in the region. The forum, a Caribbean Business Report story says, is being undertaken in partnership with the US embassies in 14 Caribbean countries and that it will seek to connect US companies to opportunities in the Caribbean region.
