OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeauhas welcomed a dozen leaders from across the Caribbean to Ottawa, as part of a two-day summit aimed at forming closer ties with Canada.
The Caribbean Community includes 15 countries and five overseas territories, spanning from Bahamas to Trinidad and Tobago, but not including Cuba.
In the afternoon, the leaders are set to discuss the political and humanitarian crises in Haiti, in the hopes of ending brazen gang violence that threatens to spread through the region.On Thursday, the leaders are expected to take part in a trade and investment roundtable, ahead of an afternoon press conference.
This month, the UN Security Council approved a Kenya-led multinational military intervention to clear out gangs that have committed brazen violence and blocked access to essentials. "Our region has traditionally relied on Canada's advocacy to highlight our challenges and realities, and promote our interests in international fora where we don't have a voice," he said at the opening of the summit."It is now more clear than ever that economic policy is security policy, is climate policy, is social policy — everything is interconnected," he said.
