As Dr Keith Rowley attended what he said would be his last Caricom Heads of Government meeting as Prime Minister, his fellow regional leaders wished him a happy retirement and reflected on their working and personal relationships with him.
Speaking with Guardian Media on day two of the 48th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Caricom Heads of Government in Barbados yesterday, Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne said while he and Rowley had their ups and downs, it did not tarnish what he considered an amicable relationship.
“Keith is a very good friend, we’ve had our differences, in fact, we’ve had many differences. But at the end of the day, we are good friends. I consider him to be a regionalist and someone who has made a significant contribution to Caricom. He has been in the vineyard for several decades and would have contributed to the development of Trinidad and Tobago. We certainly want to wish him success in his new endeavours,” Prime Minister Browne said.
The Antiguan PM said he is certain Rowley will remain productive in his retirement and he even shared the nicknames they had for each other.
