AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoCaricom Power Struggle: PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar tells Trinidad and Tobago it can “expel us” if it wants, but says Montserrat will not recognise Dr Carla Barnett as Caricom Secretary-General once her term ends in August—after T&T argues Barnett’s reappointment was handled without proper agenda placement and without T&T at the February decision. Regional Governance: Montserrat pushed the dispute onto a tense virtual Caricom leaders’ meeting last Friday, where T&T raised treaty concerns; the standoff is now set against a looming August deadline. Health Watch: Montserrat’s Ministry of Health says it’s monitoring an international hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius, but insists the risk on island remains low. Diplomacy & Mobility: Separately, passport-access updates keep shifting across the region, with Montserrat listed among visa-free destinations for Pakistani travellers.
