and Barbuda \u2013 alongside six other Caribbean Heads of Government \u2013 for discussions with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is unlikely to be mere coincidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It reflects a calculated attempt to distort public perception and to pressure a sovereign government through spectacle rather than substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In assuring the Chair of the Permanent Council of its highest consideration, the Permanent Mission of Antigua and Barbuda requests that this Note be circulated to the Missions of Member States and Permanent Observers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chair of the
