Canada has pledged C$81.41M for the replenishment of the Caribbean Development Bank’s Special Development Fund and committed a further C$9M to the World Food Programme to support logistics and tackle food insecurity within the Caribbean.
The Canadian High Commission here in a release yesterday noted that Canada made this disclosure when Marc Garneau, Ottawa’s Minister of Foreign Affairs met with Eamon Courtenay, Belize’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and the incoming Chair of the Council for Foreign and Community Relations of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The two co-chaired the first meeting of the Canada-CARICOM Foreign Ministers’ Group. This forum serves as a platform for Canada and Caribbean partners to discuss shared priorities and opportunities for coordinated action.
