Building relations with Venezuela

Barbados Ambassador to Venezuela, Commander Aquinas Clarke says Caracas, given its location, is positioned to contribute to CARICOM's 25 by 2025 initiative aimed at reducing the region's food import bill. Since the announcement by Venezuela of its intentions to provide five thousand hectares of agricultural land to Barbados, a team from the island visited the country to see first-hand the different farming areas. Ambassador Clarke says trade and other exchanges have been further boosted with the improvements made in transport and the direct flights to Caracas. Ambassador Clarke was a guest on CBC TV8's Mornin' Barbados. Ambassador Clarke says Barbados remains committed to its 2030 target to give every Barbadian under the age of 18 an opportunity to be bilingual.
