2006, January 24, PORT OF SPAIN: Korean
Ambassador, SHIN Soon-chull has reaffirmed his Government’s commitment to
cooperate with the countries of the Caribbean through the Association of
Caribbean States (ACS).
 The
Caribbean Shipping Association is a Social Partner of the ACS.
The Ambassador (2nd left)
visited the headquarters of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) in
Port-of-Spain earlier this month (on 18th January 2006) for
discussions with Secretary General Rubén Silié (right).
Also present at this meeting were
Mr. Luis Carpio, Director responsible for Transport and Natural Disasters; Mr.
Manuel Madriz, Trade Director; Mr. Juan Fernando Valey, Transport and Natural
Disasters Advisor and Mr. Jong Uk Choi, Second Secretary at the Embassy of Korea
in Caracas.
During the discussions, the Ambassador spoke
of the impending signing of the Framework Co-operation Agreement with the ACS.
He also indicated that his government had pledged the sum of US$35,000.00 to
co-finance the ACS Maritime Transport project entitled "Map of Maritime Routes
in the Greater Caribbean". The objective of this project is to produce an
updated map of the main maritime routes in the Greater Caribbean, which will
provide regional and international importers, exporters, buyers and sellers with
key information regarding the movement of goods.
Apart from an expected increase in
intra-regional maritime trade and an improvement in overseas linkages, the
project will also allow the ACS to determine whether or not there are areas
within the Greater Caribbean territory without maritime services, and also
whether the existing companies adequately meet the region’s maritime transport
needs.
This project is expected to come on stream
during the first half of 2006.
