PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Thursday marked its 40th anniversary boasting of being the longest surviving integration grouping among developing countries. In a message to mark the occasion, CARICOM Secretary General Irwin la Rocque said that 15-member grouping is second only to the European Union in global terms and that the “four pillars upon which our integration is built have withstood the test of time allowing us the latitude of expanding the edifice of our Community for the benefit of our people. “Economic Integration, Human and Social Development, Foreign Policy Co-ordination and Security Co-operation have enabled our Community to grow and provide benefits through the Single Market, Health, Disaster Management, Education, Technical Co-operation with third countries and ensuring a safe ICC Cricket World Cup to name a few,” he said.
