More engagement urged between CARICOM, Caribbean Diaspora in US
Washington, DC– Guyana’s Ambassador to the United States Dr. Riyad Insanally has suggested that there be a more structured process of engagement between the Caribbean Diplomatic Caucus in Washington DC and the Caribbean diaspora to ensure that efforts to advance the cause of the region and its people are well defined and coordinated.
In this regard he has recommended that there be quarterly consultations between the caucus and the Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS) based here and which has been spearheading the work of the diaspora in lobbying the US Congress on issues in US/Caribbean relations.
The Ambassador threw out the suggestion in his address to the opening session of the 20th annual Caribbean American Legislative Briefing Thursday on Capitol Hill put on by the Institute of Caribbean Studies(ICS).
Ambassador Insanally’s address followed that of US Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Caribbean and Canada Kenneth Merten who formally opened the briefing.
