St Maarten Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams visited Trinidad last week for the PAHO/EU Conference on HIV.
The Prime Minister’s visit to the country included a meeting with Trinidad Foreign Minister Winston Dookeran, joined by Dutch Ambassador Lucita Moeniralam.
Wescot-Williams is the Dutch Caribbean territory’s first-ever Prime Minister; she has served in the post since 2010 in two separate cabinets.
In what the government said was a “brief” meeting, Dookeran and Wescot-Williams reportedly exchanged an issue of the Caribbean Journal of International Relations and the book “Power, Politics and Performance: A Partnership Approach for Development.”
