Infrastructure, ICTs, poverty, crime emerge from OAS summit

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit (third from left, back row) among hemispheric leaders at the summit

The Sixth Summit of the Americas culminated with leaders of member states committing to integrate physical infrastructure in the Americas, promote access to information communication technology, and fight poverty, inequality, inequity and transnational organised crime.

The summit began on April 14 in Cartagena, Colombia, under the theme “Connecting the Americas: Partners for Prosperity.”

After two days of deliberations, the leaders agreed that the further development of physical infrastructure projects at the national, sub-regional, and regional levels will contribute to sustainable development, social inclusion, and increased trade.

    You may call him intelligent I say he is smart like a fox. He has the majority of the country fooled. But handsome? I don’t think so, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see Obama is holding the ladies hands I think he can see what is beauty. And they look happy P.M. looks like he ate a taco and it gave him gas.
