Saint Lucia Prime Minister Dr. Kenny Anthony will discuss the costs and benefits of the Regional integration movement, when he delivers a lecture at the St. Augustine campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) on Tuesday.

UWI said Dr. Anthony, will be the third Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leader to deliver an address under its “Distinguished Open Lecture” as part of its CARICOM Leaders Lecture Series, following the current CARICOM Chairman Prime Minister Perry Christie of The Bahamas and St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves.

Dr. Anthony will speak on the topic “Delivered or Denied: Integration’s Cost and Benefit”. In his lecture, Prime Minister Anthony will examine current economic challenges facing the Caribbean and question how CARICOM in its current configuration hopes to realize the primary benefits envisaged by its founding fathers,” UWI said.
