Tuesday 22 March 2011 – Saint Lucia will host the Regional Security Systems -RSS - Council of Ministers meeting on Friday, March 25, 2011.
The Council of Ministers is the supreme policy making body of the Regional Security System (RSS) and comprises Ministers of Defence and Security in the member states of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Saint Lucia's Minister for Home Affairs and National Security, Honourable Guy Mayers assumed the chairmanship of the RSS in 2010.
“This is an annual meeting that is held in which the RSS reports on its operations for the year and at which the budget for the RSS is confirmed. That meeting will be held right here where all of the national security ministers will be present and we will be reviewing the work of the RSS and planning and strategizing for the following year.”
The Regional Security System (RSS) is an international agreement for the defence and security of the Eastern Caribbean region. The Regional Security System was created out of a need for collective response to security threats, impacting on the stability of the region in the late 1970s and early 1980s. |
