Minister and Minister of International Trade and CARICOM Affairs, Minister Dwyer
Astaphan, Minister of Tourism and the Honourary Jacinth Henry-Martin, Minister
of information, Culture, Youth and Sports. During May 2003 Minister Jacinth Henry-Martin
advised the Mission about her intention to visit South Africa on 2 June 2003 with
the view to sign a Cultural Agreement with South Africa.
