		<description><![CDATA[ One of the ships barred by Argentina While Dominica and its ALBA colleagues of the OECS have sought to keep away from a controversial decision of the Bolivarian Alliance (ALBA) to keep Falklands ships away from their ports in solidarity with Argentina over that Latin American country’s dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands, another Caribbean country has found itself unwittingly caught up in that dispute. The following article in Caribbean News Now explains why two Bermuda-flagged cruise ships were barred from Argentina : Argentina bars two Bermuda-flagged cruise ships BUENOS AIRES, Argentina &#8212; Authorities in Argentina&#8217;s Tierra del Fuego province denied entry on Monday to two Bermuda-flagged cruise ships that were seeking to dock in the southern port of Ushuaia, in incidents linked to the political dispute over the Falkland Islands, CNN reported. One of the ships &#8212; the Star Princess &#8212; departed Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on February 18 on a 14-night South America cruise and, because the ship had previously called at Stanley in the Falkland Islands, it was denied entry to Ushuaia. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Ambassador Lolita Applewhaite. Photo credit: Caribbean News Now GEORGETOWN, Guyana &#8211; The time has come for the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to take stock of its strategic direction as there was an urgent need for the regional integration movement to redound to an enhanced quality of life for its peoples. Ambassador Lolita Applewhaite, acting secretary-general of CARICOM expressed these sentiments in her address at the opening ceremony of the twenty-second inter-sessional meeting of the conference of heads of government of the Caribbean Community, in St George’s, Grenada. Drawing attention to the serendipity of CARICOM heads of government returning to the very room in which CARICOM leaders in1989 laid out the vision for the Community in the landmark Grand Anse Declaration and Work Programme for the Advancement of the Integration Movement, Applewhaite said that the challenges that faced the leaders then had come into “full view” 22 years on. ]]></description>
