DG Letter to the Editor |
In a May 22, 2004 article ("Miami nice") in
The Economist, there was an oversight
in the list of candidate cities for the
permanent site of the headquarters for the
Free Trade Area of the Americas;
Port-of-Spain was not listed. Enclosed is
Ambassador Bernal's Letter to the Editor,
published in the June 10 edition of The
Economist.

Come to my hub
SIR - You say Miami possesses all the
attributes of a hub for Latin America and the
Caribbean, and suggest that this gives it a
"head-start" in its bid to be the permanent
site of the headquarters for the Free Trade
Area of the Americas ("Miami nice", May 22nd).
In listing the contenders you fail to mention
Port-of-Spain in Trinidad and Tobago, the
candidate of the 14 member states of the
Caribbean Community. This may mislead readers
that Miami's success is preordained-a view
that some are propagating.
