Twenty years of negotiations over the Bahamas’ maritime border with Cuba may soon come to a close now that technical teams from both countries have reached an agreement.
Brent Symonette, Minister of Foreign Affairs, would not say when the matter will definitively be addressed, but he confirmed it is before cabinet waiting approval.
The agreement was reached late last year after several rounds of talks between technical experts from various ministries and agencies and their Cuban counterparts.
The Cuban government has since made the necessary approvals, according to Tribune source. The ball is now in the Bahamas’ court.
