Today, the first 150 Black Belly Sheep arrived safely in Guyana from Barbados, as a part of the Black Belly Sheep Project. The next shipment will be to Suriname. Improved food security continues to be a key area of focus for Barbados, as we work with our regional neighbours.

History was made today as the Caribbean and Africa came together for the inaugural AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum. Under the theme of "One People. One Destiny. Uniting and Reimagining Our Future," I believe this event will be a turning point for our regions.
