CARIFORUM pays tribute to former head of regional negotiating machinery

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Director-General of the Caribbean Forum (CARIFORUM) Directorate in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat, Ivan Ogando Lora, has paid tribute to the former director-general of the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery (CRNM), Ambassador Henry S. Gill, who died after a prolong illness in Trinidad and Tobago. “It is fair to say that the CARIFORUM-EU EPA will loom large with respect to the late Ambassador Gill’s legacy,” Ogando said of Gill, who died last week Thursday. A statement issued here said that as the CRNM’s Senior Director, Gill “played a pivotal role with respect to the regional strategy pursued by CARIFORUM in its negotiations with the European Union (EU) for the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA)”.
