Caribbean can rise above challenges

Jul 04, 2013

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Barbados Advocate -
It is only in the context of a properly functioning integration movement that the Caribbean region, now more closely knit than ever, can rise about the daunting challenges it now faces.

This was the message sent by Prime Minister of Barbados, The Honourable Freundel Stuart, on the occasion of the 34th Conference of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) last night in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

Prime Minister Stuart noted that the founding fathers of the regional integration movement all understood that politics is ultimately about using power to make the lives of people better socially, politically and economically.
