Incoming Chairman of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), Prime Minister Gaston Browne, has called for bold action to strengthen regional integration, including the creation of a dedicated OECS airline, deeper economic cooperation, and renewed engagement with the United States.
Addressing the opening of the OECS Authority meeting as he assumed the chairmanship for the next 12 months, Browne said the sub-regional bloc must adapt to a rapidly changing global environment marked by geopolitical tensions, rising living costs, supply chain disruptions and shifting international alliances.
