“It’s my pleasure to extend opening remarks on this auspicious occasion, the launch of the CAF Regional Office for the Caribbean, here in our capital, Port-of-Spain. Firstly, let me extend a warm welcome to Mr. Sergio Diaz-Granados, the Executive President of CAF, on his first visit to Trinidad and Tobago. On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, allow me to express our gratitude for the relationship that we have built with CAF and look forward to its continued support in our national development agenda. I believe your visit here will be meaningful and useful to all of us.”
