A high-ranking official of the government of St. Lucia was on Monday the guest of St. Maarten's Commissioner of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Aviation & Sports, Frans Richardson, when the two met for a lunch meeting.
The official, Elisha Hunte, is special advisor to the Prime Minister of St. Lucia and is attached to the St. Lucia Ministry of Finance, Economic Affairs, Economic Planning and National Development.
Mr. Hunte is on an orientation visit to St. Maarten and on Monday exchanged ideas with commissioner Richardson, regarding the exploration of a number of co-operation areas. These include agricultural trade and tourism, considering the special relationship already existing between both Caribbean islands.
The St. Lucia government representative and members of his delegation are visiting a number of sites as part of a program marking the fact-finding visit.
