  • Ambassador-Designate to present his diplomatic credentials next Tuesday
  • Russia deeply concerned about ongoing crisis in Venezuela
  • Russia wants to establish regional alliances

His Excellency, Alexander Sergeyevich Kurmaz, Ambassador-Designate of the Russian Federation to Grenada said that his country is deeply concerned about the ongoing crisis in Venezuela.

Addressing an investment conference in Grenada on Friday, Kurmaz, who is scheduled to present his diplomatic credentials next Tuesday, said Russia will not be abandoning its friends and allies. “We are deeply concerned about the situation in Venezuela, but we want to send a clear message, that we do not abandon our friends and allies. In partnership with like-minded countries, including Grenada and other Caribbean countries, we will promote our common principles of non-interference, multilateralism, self-determination of nations with “recipes” imposed by outsiders,” he said.

The ambassador, who will be based in Guyana with responsibilities for St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Kitts and Grenada, said that now more than ever the region needs to keep its spirit of unity and solidarity in front of new policy challenges and other threats, including threats to security and climate change.

He told the participants that the Caribbean is at a turning point in history and Russia sees discord and misbalance in the regional cooperative mechanism. “It is clear that involvement of external forces and attempts to change the political landscape of the region have not been without consequences,” he said.

He said as a means to contributing to the development of the region, he informed the participants that Russia wants to establish full-scale project, technological and technological alliances that will bring benefits for both Russia and Caricom members.

“We also want to pursue cooperation in such as areas as oil and gas, hydro and atomic energy; aircraft and in particular helicopter industry, infrastructure, agriculture, biopharmaceutics as well as information and communications technologies,” he told participants at the 2019 Next Step conference. The conference is one of the activities of the St George’s Club, a Russia organisation aimed at bringing investment to the region.

Kurmaz told the conference that Russia’s goal is to have mutual beneficial and needed arrangement with all of the Caribbean countries.

“We want to pursue successful cooperation in strengthening civil security as traditionally understood, namely countering terrorism, illicit drug traffic, fighting transnational organised crime as well as in addressing new challenges like money laundering and terrorist financing,” he told participants, comprising Russian investors and public sector representatives from St Lucia, Antigua and St Kitts and Nevis.

    It’s too late J and Cato. There’s a lot to gain through corroboration with this current Russian Government by the ruling NNP Government. Russia’s presence in Grenada guarantees Dr. Keith Mitchell and his political party (NNP) a life time stronghold on Grenada. We should continue to see sham election results. NDC May as well pack it in. Remember Russia’s involvement in the last USA election cycle? Wwhat do expect to see happen in Grenada in coming years…where technology is at its inception stage?
