| dc.description.abstract | Trinidad and Tobago confirmed today that Minister Extraordinaire, A.N.R. Robinson, in the coalition regime is the government’s nominee for the president of the republic. However, the opposition has its own presidential candidate in the person of High Court Judge, Anthony Lucky. In the following, the Nevis Reformation Party is in election mode although local elections are not constitutionally due until July. Secession of Nevis to secede from St. Kitts will be one of the election issues. Next, the US Agricultural Consular based in the Dominican Republic says that the Caribbean represents an important export market for American food and beverages. However, the permanent representative for the Jamaican Agricultural Society shared different views. In the next segment, Cuban education system is on show this week at an education conference. Cuba’s health and education systems are still seen as models by many in the region and the rest of the developing world. Also, Cuba has again reacted to a report from the US government which outlines plans for a democratic transition in the country. A document published that the US government says it would cost billions of dollars to fund the return of democratic rule once President Fidel Castro let the US in. | en_US |
