Grenada’s government says it is committed to the principle of the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, as it views with serious concern the recent escalation of activities within the Caribbean Sea.
It says the Caribbean space is the lifeblood for fisherfolk and inter-island traders, whose safety and freedom of movement are paramount.
Grenada’s response comes weeks after the US deployed warships to the southern Caribbean on what officials said were counter-narcotics operations. This has been welcomed by the T&T Prime Minister.
However, Grenada believes that dialogue and diplomacy are the only acceptable tools for resolving differences, urging all within and out of the region to respect this vital status.
The country has also offered itself as a willing facilitator for peaceful dialogue.
