CSME Important – Betton-Nayo

[su_pullquote align=”right”]”When we look at other regional bonds being formed around the world, such as the European Union (EU) etc., then we can begin to understand the power that comes with speaking with one voice. The CSME is that important.” Symone Betton-Nayo[/su_pullquote]Head of the Trade Agreements Implementation Coordination Unit in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Symone Betton-Nayo, says Jamaicans need to be more aware of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) and the many benefits it offers.

She noted that the CSME must be viewed as something that belongs to the people and for which they must take ownership.

“It is about people, it is about services, it is about free movement,” she pointed out.

“We need to understand it and be appreciative of all the benefits that come with it. When we look at other regional bonds being formed around the world, such as the European Union (EU) etc., then we can begin to understand the power that comes with speaking with one voice. The CSME is that important,” she added.

She was speaking in an interview with JIS News at a recent CSME forum for high-school students held at the William Knibb Memorial High School in Trelawny.
