The Prime Minister of Saint Lucia said in a public meeting that Venezuela has been a good friend to his country and the Caribbean community. Dr. Kenny D. Anthony is the first official to speak in detail on the meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama that was held just before the Summit of the Americas. He said that in that meeting, Obama conceded that CARICOM nations have benefitted from their relation with Venezuela. Dr. Anthony stressed that Venezuela is providing US$10 million for the National Initiative to Create Employment (NICE). For Saint Lucia and many other islands, Venezuela continues to be an important development partner. Alison Kentish reports for teleSUR.
