​Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is currently in Marrakech, Morocco for a very important COP 22- UN Climate change conference.
 
In a Facebook post PM Skerrit said "I am joined by my colleague heads from Jamaica (Andrew Holness), St. Lucia (Allen Chastanet), and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Ralph Gonsalves). Haiti is represented by its Foreign Minister Pierrot Delienne and Bahamas by its Foreign Minister Fred Mitchell".
