2ND SUMMIT OF HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) AND THE REPUBLIC OF CUBA, 8 DECEMBER 2005
- SPECIAL DECISION ON COOPERATION IN HEALTH
(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community and Cuba meet in Bridgetown, Barbados, on 8 December for their second Summit meeting in three years.
This meeting is in consonance with the Havana Declaration which was signed at the first Summit in Havana in 2002, on the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the four CARICOM countries which were independent at that time - Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago - and Cuba.
It is with great pleasure that today, 8 December, we celebrate CARICOM-Cuba Day.
Thirty-one years ago, four Caribbean Community countries - Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago - opened this chapter in the Community’s history by establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba.
