PRIME Minister Dr Keith Rowley will be meeting with former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nizam Mohammed to discuss stranded nationals in conflicted countries.
That meeting will take place today (Monday March 27, 2023) , the Office of the Prime Minister, stated in a Facebook post.
Mohammed has been advising the Government as it relates to the issue that has garnered international attention.
He will be accompanied to the meeting by other persons who have been contributing to the cause.
The meeting that will be held at Whitehall in Port-of-Spain will also be attended by some members of the National Security Council which Dr Rowley heads, his Office stated.
Last month, the New York-based Human Rights Watch Group held a press conference urging the Government to do what it can to bring back home Trinidad and Tobago nationals from war-torn North-East Syria especially the women and children.
Speaking at a Ramadan function at the Chaguanas Borough Corporation on Saturday, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar said citizens must be brought home.
She said, “The fact is, at the end of the day, they are our citizens and we must bring them home. These are women and children and they should not be left to suffer in unliveable conditions.”
