AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

CARICOM & U.S. TCN Transit: CARICOM leaders put the controversial U.S.-linked third-country nationals transit issue on the agenda, stressing any MOUs should cover people without criminal antecedents, protect regional security, and avoid draining services. CBI Under EU Pressure: Eastern Caribbean CBI states agreed to a united diplomatic push toward Brussels after EU demands to phase out programmes by June 2028, arguing reforms and safeguards are already in place and that any transition must protect development funding. U.S.-CARICOM Biometric Pact: The U.S. DHS and CARICOM’s IMPACS signed a first multilateral biometric data-sharing arrangement to strengthen border security and immigration vetting, including screening tied to citizenship-by-investment concerns. ECCB Currency & Governance: ECCB Monetary Council updates included progress on financial inclusion and payments, while St. Kitts and Nevis also featured in the wider ECCU banknote redesign push. Dr. Denzil Douglas Health Update: Former PM and Senior Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas broke his silence, saying successful major spinal surgery followed severe back pain after a 1988 accident. St. Kitts Tourism & Infrastructure: Work began on a new Port Zante cruise terminal, positioning St. Kitts as a turnaround port for P&O Cruises from Nov 2027. Humanitarian Aid: CARICOM delivered 88 containers of earthquake relief to Venezuela, with Guyana leading logistics and St. Kitts and Nevis among supporting states. Regional Security Capacity: SKNDF started cleanup at St. Christopher Children’s Home and outlined broader defence upgrades, including plans for an Air Guard using enhanced unmanned aerial systems. Sports & Community: St. Kitts won medals at the ECVA U20 Beach Volleyball Championship, and Culinary Month events continue across the Federation.
