Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has said that Dominica\u2019s foreign policy is based on sincerity and openness and it will continue to be the driving force of the country\u2019s national policy.<\/p>\n

He also said it is characterized by mutual respect.<\/p>\n

During an end of year interview with GIS\u2019s Mervin Paul, the prime minister likened foreign policy to a human being living in a community. “If you live in a village and you are vex with everybody, I mean if your house is on fire, it is likely that nobody would come to your rescue but if you are surrounded by friends, anything that happens to your home or to your family, these people will be the first to come forward,” he pointed out.\u00a0 “There has to be reciprocity.”<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said in 2012, Dominica was able to establish new friendships with a number of nations and was able to maintain existing friendships.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must say that the friendship that we have cultivated, these people have remained sincere to us and they continue to assist us in the face of their own challenges.\u00a0 When we take a country like Venezuela or the European Union, for example, who have all these challenges and are still prepared to assist us, it tells you about the extent to which they view Dominica and Dominicans and the relationship that the Government has with them and we will continue this way,” he noted.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that many people normally ask what is Dominica giving to these countries. “What we\u2019re giving them is friendship and solidarity,” the Prime Minister argued.\u00a0 “China has more poverty than Dominica but because of friendship, solidarity and complementarity, they have some resources that they are willing to share with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skerrit remarked that Dominica will seek cooperation with new countries in 2013 and will continue its firm stance on its foreign policy as decisions are being taken in the best interest of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has said that Dominica\u2019s foreign policy is based on sincerity and openness and it will continue to be the driving force of the country\u2019s national policy.
