ADDRESS BY DR. THE RT. HON. KEITH C. MITCHELL, PRIME MINISTER, GRENADA AND CHAIRMAN, CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH REGULAR MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 4 JULY 2004, ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA

Welcome to Grenada. Welcome to Spice Country. Welcome to the Twenty-fifth Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community. The people of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique welcome you.

I am very pleased that all of my friends are here. Just a few days ago, one of my colleague Heads of Government asked whether or not I would be here.  Fortunately, being a cricketer, dealing with bouncers is ingrained in me. Thankfully though, bouncers are now limited to one per Over.
