President of Parliament Sarah A. Wescot-Williams took part in a meeting with her counterparts from Aruba and Curaçao on Monday 26 October in Tenerife, Spain, according to the Parliament of Sint Maarten. The meeting was held while the three presidents were attending Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly meetings in Tenerife from 26 to 29 October.
