Margarita, March 16 (RHC)- The 23rd Ministerial Meeting of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) continued Friday in Venezuela, where representatives from the region seek to address the effects of climate change and support the financing of projects in nations devastated by hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Cuba, Venezuela and Mexico have announced significant contributions to these projects.
