Speaking on Wednesday, St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr Timothy Harris pledged his country’s “continued firm support for regional integration,” encouraging the region to work towards a “common voice which will help ensure that the rest of the world lends an ear to the needs of the Caribbean.”

The meeting also addressed the need to push for legislations that govern mergers and acquisitions in the region.
