Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-Operation, Hugh Todd on Wednesday told Stabroek News that a meeting of the Parliamentary Sectoral Committee on Foreign Affairs had to be postponed because he was attending an important CARICOM forum.
In a statement on Tuesday, Shadow Minister of Foreign Affairs Amanza Walton-Desir noted the inconvenience caused to attendees like Ronald Cox, M.P., who made the journey from Mabaruma, Region 1, only to be met with the abrupt cancellation. She noted that Region 1 stands on the frontlines of various crises, including those stemming from the ongoing migration issues, making Cox’s trip not just symbolic but deeply significant.
