The new government in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is making changes to its foreign service. Foreign Minister Fitz Bramble stated that diplomatic posts will now be filled by qualified people who reliably follow the administration's policies. He said the country will use its overseas missions as the main tool for pushing its international goals. The recently elected New Democratic Party administration, which won a huge majority, also plans to review its role in various regional and global organizations.
Bramble pointed out the tricky global situation with shifting politics and economic instability. He argued this requires a very careful and strategic approach to foreign relations for a small developing nation. He mentioned that trade and investment policies need to be both creative and realistic to handle ongoing vulnerabilities. A big part of their plan involves engaging the Vincentian diaspora, which the government sees as a crucial community for helping develop the country back home.
