St Vincent to host meeting of CARICOM cabinet secretaries
Published on February 22, 2012      Print Version

KINGSTOWN, St Vincent -- A number of cabinet secretaries from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) region will begin arriving in St Vincent and the Grenadines on Wednesday for a top level meeting.

The fourth Commonwealth Caribbean Consultative meeting will be convened under the theme “From Public Sector Reform to Governance” on February 23 and 24.

The cabinet secretaries will look at a number of issues including public administration and the new public governance, taxation, tax reform and governance in developing countries, and approaches to improving governance in the public service.

The overall aim is to focus the attention of the regional cabinet secretaries on a new system of values, policies and institutions, all aimed at enhancing economic, social and political governance in the region.

Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves will deliver the feature address at the opening ceremony on February 23. Other addresses will come from Dr Colin McDonald of the Commonwealth Secretariat, and Susan Dougan, the cabinet secretary in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
