Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Jamaica, Guyana, and Suriname from March 26-27 to promote regional cooperation and advance the United States' foreign policy priorities in the Caribbean.
During his trip, Secretary Rubio will hold bilateral engagements with heads of state from Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and Haiti, while also meeting with officials in Jamaica. These discussions are expected to focus on addressing shared challenges such as illegal immigration, transnational organized crime, and strengthening economic partnerships between the United States and Caribbean countries.
The visit is part of a broader effort to enhance regional cooperation and stability in the Caribbean. Secretary Rubio's engagements with his counterparts will aim to promote collective action against these pressing issues and support the region's ongoing efforts to address Haiti's political and security challenges.
Secretary Rubio's travel follows a series of recent diplomatic efforts by the United States to strengthen its relationships with Caribbean nations. This latest trip is seen as an important step towards fostering greater cooperation and understanding between the two regions.
