A better approach to UK-Caribbean relations

There’s an old saying that you wait even for a bus in London and then two (or even three) come along at once. It is not an expression, to my knowledge, ever applied to policy statements affecting UK-Caribbean relations.

However, within just fourteen days, four documents have appeared that will, in one way or another, guide future relations between an independent Britain and the Caribbean Anglophone.

The most specific of these is a joint communiqué on the outcome of the tenth UK-Caribbean Forum held almost on 18 March, and more importantly its associated action plan. Both documents were agreed by Ministers in the same way as Britain disclosed its long-term security, development and foreign policy strategy post-Brexit and separately, explaining how the UK intends to respond militarily to global threats which is changing.
