Bdos: No fishy oil talks with Arthur, says Manning

BARBADOS’ ongoing maritime dispute with Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) will not be on the agenda for the 15th Inter-Sessional Meeting of CARICOM heads currently being held in St. Kitts.

That is according to reports in the Trinidad Guardian, which yesterday quoted T&T Prime Minister Patrick Manning as saying: “That is not part of the agenda .... Barbados is a bilateral issue.”

When asked whether he plans to hold talks with Prime Minister Owen Arthur on the maritime dispute, Manning said no talks were scheduled.

“We will meet, of course, because he is part of Government conference,” the T&T leader said
