Caribbean Report 05-07-1995

In this report: as the CARICOM Summit continues in Guyana, the private sector presented its position paper which calls for the establishment of a high level joint public and private sector task force to define regional priorities. The Vice President of the Dominican Republic, Jacinto Peynado states his country is still seeking full membership of CARICOM and has received backing from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. The future of regional airline LIAT continues to fly high on the agenda of the CARICOM Summit. CARICOM Chairman, Prime Minister Edison James of Dominica pushes the banana issue onto the front burner. In Trinidad, a rather unparliamentary wrangle is developing over government's attempt to remove the Speaker of the House of Representatives through a no confidence motion. Dr. Denzil Douglas, the new Prime Minister of St. Kitts/Nevis spends his first day in office and reflects on the wind of change blowing through the Caribbean. In cricket, the West Indies makes two changes to their twelve-man squad for the third test against England. Chief Minister Derek Taylor of the Turks and Caicos Islands discusses his country's economic development with British officials.
