@BerthonJeanMarc It is a pleasure having you here in the region with us.

The Caribbean is one of the regions of the world where there is a trend toward the decriminalization of homosexuality. Five countries have decriminalized it since 2022, including Saint Lucia last year. Others may follow. I am pleased to be in Castries to encourage this movement and to offer France’s support, through @EC_Equality, to more than 30 organizations in 11 countries.
