Leaders of the nine-member Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) ended their two day summit in St. Vincent yesterday agreeing to meet in St. Lucia next month to further discuss finalising aspects of their economic union.
St. Lucia’s Prime Minister, Stephenson King, who assumed the chairmanship of the sub regional grouping says the 53rd meeting of the OECS Authority had been suspended until June 20.
Prime Minister King said governance and a number of operational matters pertaining to the new structure to guide the union will also be discussed at the June meeting.
Prime Minister King also stated that it was agreed that tourism and agriculture ministers will meet soon to formulate certain work programmes that would have implications for the sub-region.
