Abstract:
The Prime Minister and Minister of External Affairs and Minister of Planning and Development (Dr. the Rt. Hon. E.Williams): Mr. Speaker, I beg to move :
Whereas current trends in world affairs point inescapably to the fact that the interests of nations are best served by association with other states: And whereas experience has shown that the most practical form of such association is the entry into regional groupings of states:
And whereas Trinidad and Tobago’s geographical location indicates the Organization of American States as the logical regional grouping with which it should seek association:
And whereas it -is expedient that steps be taken to implement the promise contained in His Excellency’s Speech from the Throne of the 25th November, 1966, that the Government of Trinidad and Tobago would take further steps in respect of regional alignments with particular reference to the Organization of American States and the Caribbean Economic Community:
