Challenges need resolute collective action – Minister Elrington
Hon. Wilfred Elrington, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belize and Chairman of the Community Council of Ministers of CARICOM, addressing the 37th Meeting of the Council, Georgetown Guyana, 15 January 2016 – VIDEO
“Our endeavors will demand perspicacity and resolution from all of us in leadership positions, given the very daunting challenges which now confront our world. Challenges which can only be surmounted by resolute collective action.
“Fortunately for our Community, we have a very dedicated and capable Secretariat to aid us in our quest. They have presented us with a road-map to reform our Secretariat, and developed a Community Strategic Plan 2015-2019 to guide our actions in the future.
“What we now need is to commit to making our governance arrangements more flexible and dynamic, and to provide these arrangements for our integration movements to become more effective and relevant to the needs of the peoples of CARICOM.
