“Grenada is not dependent on CBI, therefore we do not have to compromise on security to maintain our program.

Any action by one country that compromises security can have serious consequences for the entire region, therefore we must all be mindful of that’’ Dr. Mitchell said.

We know the importance of the CBI Programme to the country and we must maintain its integrity” He said.
