PM Skerrit further stressed that even without contributing nothing, they are the ones who always remain on the verge of facing the wrath of the natural calamities which is injustice as their survival is in danger due to the developed world. 

Now, the Delegates' conference is also expected to feature discussion on climate change and the ongoing hurricane season, impacting the Caribbean countries. In addition to that, the conference is also aimed at enhancing the diplomatic ties between the two countries by providing a space for the leaders of the countries to gather and talk about their future in the region.
