00:00I leave the decision as to Trinidad and Tobago's position on these matters to the central government, who has the
00:08legal limit, and the THA will continue to take a position of neutrality on those issues.
00:14I mentioned the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, but that's not just because there was a blockade. That's also because Cuba
00:23has not had democratic governance. And I pointed out earlier, the Prime Minister was right in asking the question. Those
00:33of us who want to support undemocratic governance...
00:39Mr. Agustin said Prime Minister Kamlo Pasad-de-Sesa continues to be right in her actions.
00:45The Prime Minister was right in asking the question. Those of us who want to support undemocratic governance in the
00:56region, do you want that for Trinidad and Tobago?
00:59Do you want us to stop having a democracy and have a government like theirs, or do you want us
01:04to hold on to our democracy?
01:05And if democracy is good for us, why not good for somebody else? Just saying, that aside, Tobago will continue
01:12to stay out of big people's business, and we will continue to mind Tobago's business, and mind our business.
01:19Chief among those is the issue of our autonomy.
01:22Agustin said on international relations matters, Tobago would continue to adopt a position of neutrality.
01:30But again, we continue to adopt a position of neutrality on these global issues.
01:37Who want to fight who? That's their business. We're not in that. That is their business.
01:42Who want to remove whom? That is also their business, not my business.
01:46We have serious business here to treat with on that matter.
