Carmona mourns Manchester bombing victims

He also urged introspection among people.

“The terrorists did not care about what passport you held. Innocent people were callously destroyed by this attack and it should serve as a sobering reminder of how dangerous our world has become.” Carmona said the incident had caused him to reaffirm his commitment to national security and expressed interest in strengthening ties and furthering intelligence- sharing capacities between Trinidad and Tobago and Peru, citing both countries’ histories in dealing with civil insurrection and the need to join hands in the fight against international terrorism.

Speaking on his recent appointment, Hernandez said he was optimistic that his tenure as ambassador would strengthen ties and allow for a valuable exhange of knowledge that would benefit both countries. Hernandez added that there existed a number of opportunities for trade and investment in TT’s oil industry as well as the health and education sectors.

In this area, he said, “We see partnerships between the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Cayetano Heredia University in Peru, where we can exchange information and expertise on a wide variety of disciplines.”
