Meanwhile, looking east, the Cabinet took note of the protocol to amend the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas to allow Enhanced Cooperation Among CARICOM Member States. It has formally agreed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade & Immigration proceed to ratify the amendments to the protocol on the Revised Treaty, which is usually done in the Senate.

It follows on from the recent Heads of Government meeting held on Ambergris Caye in March.
