PM discusses airlift with German diplomat

Prime Minister Mia Mottley is keen for Barbados to resume airlift with Germany, Western Europe, and Scandinavia, and is optimistic that the Honorary Consul to Germany, Regina Sixt, can use her business connections to achieve this.

Mottley and Sixt recently held talks at Ilaro Court, where they explored a co-marketing arrangement with Sixt Car Rentals to assist in promoting Barbados as a destination of choice in the German market.

The two also explored ways to go after corporate business in Germany. On this matter, the Honorary Consul extended an invitation to Barbados to attend a convention in Copenhagen, at which major players in the car rental and tour operator businesses will be present.

In addition, the two officials discussed the presentation of instruments to complement the government’s String Project in primary schools, and the construction of a new convention centre in Bay Street, among other topics. Barbados and Germany established diplomatic ties on March 14, 1967.
