CARICOM member states urged to commit to further regional integration
“The collective intelligence and creativity of our people has ensured that our Caribbean civilization has thrived despite the setbacks and it is to that we have turned again to combat our current challenges. It is that faith and confidence in you the people of the Caribbean that assures us, as leaders of this community, that we are capable of confronting any obstacle with your full support,” said the outgoing CARICOM chairman.
He urged the Caribbean to regard “2015 as a year in which we recommit ourselves to strengthening our integration movement in a spirit of unity”, recalling a statement he made early in 2014 when he noted “together we can, and will, not only survive but thrive, by enhancing our collective capacity to achieve economic stability and growth, a better quality of life for our people and sustainable development”. – (CMC)
