Senior Minister in the Office of the President with responsibility for Finance Dr Ashni Singh on Tuesday met with visiting Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland QC and discussed a range of matters including oil and gas and good governance.

A release on Tuesday from the ministry said that Singh lauded the Commonwealth.

 “Even when we were in Government (before) we could recall there were a number of important pressing global problems whereby the Commonwealth played an integral role. Our issues in Climate Change was one example but there were other things like the Multi-dimensional Vulnerability Index.  In particular, the Commonwealth has demonstrated a unique leadership on Small States issues and that is in particular, a topic that we feel very strongly about,” Dr. Singh said.
