Former PM Rowley Responds to Persad-Bissessar’s UN Speech

This report covers former pm rowley responds with key details and context.

Former Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Dr. Keith Rowley, has responded to current Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly. Mrs. Persad-Bissessar addressed the assembly on Friday afternoon. Shortly after her speech, Dr. Rowley posted a video on his Facebook page, seemingly in response to her remarks. The caption for the video read, ‘When Trinidad and Tobago had leadership that it could be proud of.’ The video features Dr. Rowley discussing a past impasse involving the United States, the European Union, and Venezuela. At the time of this impasse, Dr. Rowley was serving as Prime Minister and led the Caricom delegation to the UN, advocating for the Caribbean as a zone of peace. In contrast, Mrs. Persad-Bissessar’s recent speech dismissed this notion. She stated that gangs had taken over and many people were being killed, particularly in Trinidad and Tobago. This exchange of views between the current and former Prime Minister highlights differing perspectives on the state of their nation and its role in international relations.
