64th OECS Authority Meeting continues in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

The 64th Meeting of the OECS Authority will continue on April 12, 2017 at the Beachcombers Hotel in Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines under the chairmanship of Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris.
 

OECS Heads of Government will join the Director General and Commissioners to conclude discussions on Health Insurance; Strategic options for diplomatic representation; Greater participation of non-independent Member States; Agriculture and support services (regional transport); The Blue Economy; and Climate Change and Sustainable Land Management.

The media is invited to attend a Press Briefing directly following the Authority Meeting.

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is an International Organisation dedicated to economic harmonisation and integration, protection of human and legal rights, and the encouragement of good governance among independent and non-independent countries in the Eastern Caribbean.

The OECS came into being on June 18th 1981, when seven Eastern Caribbean countries signed a treaty agreeing to cooperate with each other while promoting unity and solidarity among its Members. The Treaty became known as the Treaty of Basseterre, so named in honour of the capital city of St. Kitts and Nevis where it was signed.

The OECS currently has ten members spread across the Eastern Caribbean comprising The British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada.
