Yesterday was an important day for Trinidad and Tobago as I joined Prime Minister the Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar, SC, MP in welcoming United States Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and his delegation for high-level engagements aimed at further strengthening the longstanding partnership between our two nations.
Our engagements went beyond dialogue, with significant progress being advanced in energy, trade, investment, security, technology, health and regional cooperation.
Among the major developments were proposed investments at Point Lisas, progress on the Manakin-Cocuina cross-border gas development, and continued discussions surrounding Trinidad and Tobago’s long-term energy security and economic growth. These initiatives have the potential to translate stronger international relationships into investment, jobs and greater opportunities for our people.
The visit also provided an opportunity to share the warmth, culture and hospitality of Trinidad and Tobago with our guests while reaffirming the friendship that continues to unite our nations.
As Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs, I am proud to play my part in advancing a foreign policy that is active, purposeful and focused on delivering tangible benefits for Trinidad and Tobago.
Stronger relationships. Greater opportunities. A more prosperous Trinidad and Tobago. 🇹🇹🇺🇸
