Today, the meeting of the Regional Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs was held at the Biltmore Plaza prior to a summit to the end the six-month presidency and begin the new rotation. At today’s meeting, the agenda discussed pressing issues ahead of the Summit of the Heads of Central America and the Dominican Republic. Dominating the discussions were the existential threat of climate change that has been adversely affecting the member countries and the larger issue of migration; both which are difficult to mitigate. But Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wilfred ‘Sedi’ Elrington says that the meeting was to put in place a strategic plan going forward for the region.
