Energy Minister Stuart Young will again act as Prime Minister in the absence of Dr. Keith Rowley.

Dr Rowley will leave today for Barbados, where he is scheduled to meet with high-ranking US Government officials.

At yesterday’s post-cabinet conference, he said discussions will focus on matters such as the Bridgetown Initiative, which calls for urgent and decisive action to reform the international financial architecture.

Accompanying him to Barbados will be Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Amery Browne.
