It is my pleasure on behalf of the Caribbean Community to extend congratulations to the Government and People of The Bahamas as they celebrate Forty-Three years of Independence.

We in the Caribbean Community congratulate the Government and People of The Bahamas on their socio-economic, democratic and political accomplishments to date.
As the Caribbean Community, of which The Bahamas is a valued member, works towards the well-being of all its people, it is pleased to count on and contribute to the efforts of your nation to forge a positive and productive way forward despite the many challenges that assail the wider global community and small states in particular.
In this regard, CARICOM acknowledges the leadership provided by the Prime Minister of The Bahamas in his capacity as Lead Head within the CARICOM Quasi Cabinet for a most critical regional growth sector- Tourism.
The Caribbean Community raises a toast to The Bahamas on this festive occasion and extends best wishes to its Government and People for ever brighter tomorrows.
