GREAT BAY, Sint Maarten (GIS) – Honorable Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams, met with Aruba’s Prime Minister Mike Eman on Friday while in transit to St. Eustatius.
Wescot met Eman at Sonesta Maho Reef Beach Hotel where they followed-up on discussions from the early December tri-partite summit that took place in Aruba and also included the Prime Minister of Curacao Gerrit Schotte.
Some of the points discussed at the December summit were the Ministerial Cooperation Council, attracting European investors to the Dutch Caribbean, funds from the European Union, set-up of joint work groups, and the June tripartite consultation between the three countries of the Dutch Caribbean. The summit resulted in the Agreement of Arikok being signed back in December.
"The Aruban Prime Minister was quite impressed with the developments on Sint Maarten as it has been some time since his last visit to the island," Hon. Prime Minister Wescot-Williams told the Government Information Service (GIS) on Sunday.
