AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoPort Disruption: Ferry services to Dominica are disrupted after a fishermen’s strike in Guadeloupe blocked the port of Pointe-à-Pitre, with FRS EXPRESS des Îles saying operations are hit and Whitchurch Shipping arranging support for stranded passengers. Aviation & Connectivity: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes signed an interline agreement to sell one ticket across both networks with through-checked baggage, aiming to make travel easier between English, French and Dutch-speaking islands and onward to Europe via Paris Orly. Regional Justice & Business Climate: The OHADAC–CARO training programmes on arbitration and ADR will be officially launched in the Eastern Caribbean on 10 June 2026, with support from France’s AFD and the Interreg Caribbean VI programme, targeting faster, more predictable dispute resolution for regional firms and investors. Disaster Readiness: “Operation Caraïbes 26” continues until 4 June, a multinational Antilles exercise simulating a major cyclone and deploying engineering, route recovery, rescue and protection units including RSMA forces from Martinique and Guadeloupe. Historical Reckoning (France/Overseas): France’s National Assembly unanimously repealed the 1685 Code Noir, a slavery-era law that treated enslaved people as property—an important symbolic step that Guadeloupe-linked voices say still leaves calls for deeper justice unanswered.
