Abstract

Cuba has adopted a cautious wait and see attitude towards the new Clinton administration. And, Ricardo Alarcon, Cuban Foreign Minister gives his views on what he anticipates of the Clinton administration. Jessie Jackson says that the Clinton administration must move quickly to restore democracy in Haiti. Baltasar Corrada del Río, Secretary of State for Puerto Ricos’ Overseas Caribbean Development Programme says that moves towards Puerto Rico becoming a US state, won’t mean severing links with the rest of the Caribbean. Gerald Bernard Kaufman Senior British Opposition MP and former Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister has stepped up arguments linking Jamaica’s retention of the death penalty to aid and trade with Britain. Official notice offering shares in the Barbados National Oil Company appeared in the British Guardian newspapers offering the net assets to potential investors. Entertainment multinational company Time Warner will distribute Trinidad and Tobago’s National Carnival Celebrations to an international audience, due to the decision of the National Carnival Commission sell the rights to a local media house to read broadcasts.
