Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when he last met representatives of CARICOM.

No meeting has taken place between the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs and the Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), since the creation of the Office of Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs in September 2020.

Senior British officials have regular contact with CARICOM officials, including the Secretary-General. Most recently on 11 December 2020 the Minister of State for the Commonwealth, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, co-hosted with the CARICOM Secretary-General a Moment of Ambition Summit alongside the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre.
