Isaac Baptiste, Joshua Francis and Lennox Linton with President of the Territorial Assembly Claude Lise United Workers Party (UWP) Leader Lennox Linton is optimistic about broad, deep and strong cooperation with Dominica’s French neighbors in the Caribbean, in the event his party is voted into office at the next general election.
A release from the party stated that a four-member UWP delegation headed by Political Leader Lennox Linton, and including UWP Deputy leader Joshua Francis, UWP President Isaac Baptiste, and former UN Ambassador and Foreign Policy Consultant Crispin Gregoire, met with national and municipal leaders in Martinique from January 25 – 27, 2019 to explore possibilities for cooperation in areas of mutual development interest. Linton says “there are exciting possibilities for government to government and people to people development initiatives in education, culture, health care, agriculture, tourism, renewable energy, environment protection and disaster management.” The release added that “the UWP Team Dominica was heartened by the eagerness for closer cooperation, and the solidarity for a more integrated Caribbean region expressed by the Martinique officials,” and that “Linton is confident that his party in government will provide the leadership and management Dominica needs to join its French neighbors in practical people-centered collaboration, that will generate a wide range of human development benefits.” The release also stated that the UWP team visited colleague, Dr Sam Christian, who was airlifted to La Meynard Hospital in Martinique in December 2018 for emergency treatment, following a vehicular accident in which he sustained a fractured pelvis. Dr Christian is currently recovering at a Rehabilitation Centre in the community of Carbet on Martinique’s west coast. “He extends his thanks to the government and people of Dominica for supporting him through the difficult and emotional challenges of achieving full recovery”.
