ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Leaders of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) are meeting today amid calls for greater collaboration and basking in the success of St. Vincent and the Grenadines as the smallest country in the world to be elected to a non-permanent position on the United Nations Security Council.

Outgoing OECS chairman, St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, in a message read out his Finance Minister and son, Camillo Gonsalves, said the 67th meeting of the OECS Authority was taking place at a time of various developments within the global community “and drawing us closer together in the interest of our collective enablement.

“Nonetheless, Antigua and Barbuda assumes the chair of the OECS Authority at a time of particular peril and possibility for our integration movement.”
