Gonsalves eyes UN Security Council seat

The Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, says his country is still contemplating whether to bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.



Dr Gonsalves says a move in that direction will be in keeping with the thrust towards reforming the world body.



He says CARICOM stands to benefit from such a move.



Meanwhile, Dr. Gonsalves is also dismissing suggestions that a bid for a UN seat will affect St Vincent’s relationship with Taiwan.
