Barbados Diplomat Urges Caribbean To Strengthen Links With Africa

BARBADOS – Barbados’ Commercial and Cultural Attaché to Ghana, C. Phil Phillips, says Africa may feel distant to the Caribbean, but it holds immense opportunities for trade, tourism, and cultural exchange that the region should not ignore.

Speaking with the Caribbean Media Corporation during the fourth Intra-African Trade Fair, Phillips described Africa as “the go-to place” as traditional markets face challenges.

Barbados is among the first CARICOM states to establish a high commission in Ghana, alongside Suriname and Jamaica.

At this year’s fair, Barbados, The Bahamas, and Grenada represented the Caribbean.
