The Caribbean Community has issued congratulations to Trinidad and Tobago’s newly appointed Prime Minister, Stuart Young.
In a statement, CARICOM chairman and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley welcomed Young, following a swearing-in ceremony by President of Trinidad and Tobago Christine Kangaloo, at the President’s house in Port of Spain on Monday morning.
“As Chairman of CARICOM and Prime Minister of Barbados, I offer heartfelt congratulations to the Honourable Stuart Young on his installation as the Eighth Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago .
“I also warmly welcome him to the Conference of CARICOM Heads of Government. We look forward to the continued robust participation of Trinidad and Tobago in shaping and executing CARICOM’s response to current and emerging global affairs, including Energy and Security (Drugs and Illicit Arms), for which Prime Minister Young will have lead responsibility in the CARICOM Quasi-cabinet.”
“CARICOM commits its full support as the Prime Minister and his government continue to chart a stable, secure and prosperous future for the people of Trinidad and Tobago and the Region.”
Young, who also serves as Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, succeeds outgoing prime minister and leader of the current ruling party, the People’s National Movement (PNM), Dr Keith Rowley, who resigned on March 16, 2025.
Dr Rowley indicated his intention to also resign as leader of the PNM “at the earliest”, following a consultation with the party’s leadership.
