Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr Karen Cummings yesterday said that calls by the international community that the David Granger-led APNU+AFC administration abide by the country’s Constitution as it pertains to calling elections were unnecessary.

“Everybody is free to [have their own views], that is their right, I guess. But you know, we strive to ensure that we don’t interfere in other person’s territory. We maintain our territorial integrity and our sovereignty and even the CARICOM’s position is non-interference, non-intervention,” she told a press conference at Takuba Lodge yesterday.

 “Of course you can make recommendations. At the Cabinet level, at our caucus level, we have decided that we will obey the rule of law and we will continue until the next president is sworn in,” she added.
