March 3, 2007: Denzil Douglas, prime minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, began a two day official visit to Cuba on March 2, 2007, to broaden collaboration between the  two Caribbean nations .  The trip came on the heels of a visit to Venezuela where he met with President Hugo Chavez to analyze aid received from Caracas in the development of tourism and financial service. One of the results of the Chavez-Douglas meeting was a housing construction aid program and the training of young people in several areas including carpentry and refrigeration.

In Cuba he is expected to visit Cuban education centers and meet with Cuban officials in areas of agriculture and human resources.
