THE HAGUE – President Anthony Carmona has discussed the possibility of having doctors from Trinidad and Tobago being employed in Holland.
Carmona, who is here to speak at the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) opening of the judicial year on Thursday, raised the matter during a meeting with the Dutch Foreign Affairs Minister Halbe Zijlstra.
This is the first time the ICC will have a ceremonial opening for its judicial year.
A statement by the Office of the President says Carmona and Zijlstra had informal discussions on wide-ranging topics including soccer.
The President pointed out that the twin island republic was producing far more internationally accredited doctors than the country required and suggested that Holland, if requires such services, could hold talks with Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Health.
Carmona further complemented Holland on the calibre of ambassadors it has been sending to Trinidad and Tobago.
The statement says the president recalled that since taking office in 2013 he had met three Dutch ambassadors, all of whom he described as exceptional, full of vision and foresight.
Carmona noted that one way a country demonstrates respect for another is by the calibre of representation sent to the country. (CMC)
