The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat is this week pushing ahead with its efforts to engage stakeholders across the region in creating a greater understanding of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).
The Secretariat is this week training immigration officials from Antigua and Barbuda on the movement of CARICOM nationals and the facilitation of travel.
According to CARICOM, the online training – which takes place for two half days on February 22 and February 23 – will focus on the legal basis for the movement of skilled nationals; the CARICOM Complaints Procedure and the role of immigration departments in facilitating the free movement of people.
E. P. Chet Greene, Antigua’s minister of foreign affairs, immigration and trade, will deliver opening remarks.
Joseph Cox, CARICOM’s assistant secretary-general, Directorate of Economic Integration, Innovation and Development, will also deliver a brief statement.
Other topics on the agenda cover administrative practices and procedures that govern the movement of service providers and an update on Antigua and Barbuda’s status regarding implementation of the Free Movement of People within the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).
There will be approximately 25 participants in the training session.
The Secretariat noted that there are plans for increased interventions with CARICOM member states as CARICOM looks forward to celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023.
