Seminar Will Focus On Caribbean Trade Issues
Caribbean trade issues are to be discussed at an upcoming seminar organised
by US-based CARICOM diplomats and the Greater Caribbean American Chamber of
Commerce. The conference, entitled "The Future of Caribbean Business in a Free Trade Area
of the Americas" is to be held on September 20 at the University of Miami and
will be attended by Bahamas Trade Minister Leslie Miller. Speakers will include Jose Manuel Salazar Xinnachs, trade
director of the Organisation of American States, and CARICOM trade ambassador
Richard Bernal. CARICOM secretary-general Edwin Carrington will also attend
the seminar. The major themes of discussion, according to a Nassau Guardian report, will be regional
negotiating positions and the economic impact of an agreement on regional economies. The Miami seminar will act as a forerunner to the Eighth Annual FTAA Ministerial
Meeting in November, where the 34 trade ministers will discuss the final phase
of the FTAA negotiations. .
