The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator AJ Nicholson, says the Simpson Miller administration is making good progress on finalizing an air service agreement with Turkey.

That agreement has been in the works for several years.

Speaking in the Senate on Wednesday, Minister Nicholson says he again raised the issue with Turkey’s Foreign Minister, during a recent visit by a Caricom mission to the Turkish capital Ankara last week.

Opposition Senator, Marlene Malahoo Forte, asked whether the talks between the Caricom representatives and Turkish officials, would have any implications for the group’s relationship with its traditional trading partners.
