The Grenada Government has named Mr. William Joseph, as the country’s Ambassador to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

Prime Minister Tillman Thomas announced the decision on Tuesday, during the government’s weekly Post Cabinet Media Briefing.

The Prime Minister said the appointment is in keeping with the OECS move to deepen the integration process and ensure the proper functioning of the organs of the Organization.

Prime Minister Thomas said Mr. Joseph will head a soon-to-be established Integration Unit, designed to manage and coordinate the relationship with and activities of both CARICOM and the OECS.

He will also be Grenada’s representative on the OECS commission.
