Executive Member of the People’s National Congress Reform and the party’s Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister, Aubrey Norton, during a recent press briefing told media operatives that for sometime now his party has withheld commenting on the conduct of the foreign policy of the nation.“The Party assumed that, overtime, the Jagdeo Administration would have seen the necessity for crafting a coherent and effective foreign policy,Wholesale Jerseys, subserved by the required institutional support…Sadly, the Party recognises that it has been very wrong.”According to Norton, the drift and confusion that has been the hallmark of the conduct of foreign policy since the PPP took office has continued unabated, and if the situation remains unchanged, it is likely to continue to jeopardise the national interest in the region and beyond.He added that what was the most alarming feature of the conduct of foreign policy is the apparent institutional shift from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Office of the President.Norton said that, “Unfortunately, the Office of the President seems to be conducting the nation’s diplomacy at the whims and fancies of President Jagdeo…Ever so often, the nation is informed of some initiative or the proposed visit of the President overseas without being told in what framework such diplomatic activity is taking place.”He added that what is even sadder is the fact that, after the activity is complete, the nation is given very little information as to its actual nature and outcome.According to Norton,Jerseys NFL China, a press conference is hardly a sufficient basis for informing the nation about any important diplomatic exercise or visit.“The PNCR also expresses its concern about the manner in which the diplomacy of the nation is being conducted…megaphone diplomacy is hardly the best method to treat with fellow Heads of State, especially those of the Caribbean Community (Caricom).”Norton said that his party spent decades, while in Government, building and strengthening relations with sister Caricom countries.“Regrettably, we cannot remain silent as this foundation is threatened by the lack of the requisite diplomatic finesse…. We urge President Jagdeo to use the well tried and tested methods of diplomacy, such as prudence and sensitivity,Cheap China Jerseys, when he is dealing with the Heads of State of Caricom.”The shadow Finance Minister emphasized that language,Supply Authentic NFL Jerseys, which falls just short of abuse, is hardly the best method of conducting relations with the distinguished Caribbean Heads of State. “Overtime this could end in isolation,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys,” he opined.Norton emphasized that the Jagdeo Administration should have already set out, in a clear and documented format,Cheap Jerseys From China, what the foreign policy of the nation is, especially in such critical areas as the Caribbean Community and our important relationships with the states in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Europe.The PNCR Member of Parliament lambasted the government for their lack of diplomatic presence in strategic countries around the world that would lay the foundation for effective Presidential visits.Norton was also critical of the minimal finance invested in the Foreign Affairs Ministry. |
