The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has congratulated the Government and People of Dominica on the country’s Forty-Third anniversary of Independence, which is celebrates on 3 November 2021.

“The theme of this year’s Independence festivities, “United in Purpose: Our Health, Our Heritage, Our Culture” is a clear rallying cry for Dominicans in this challenging period to continue in their collective actions to combat their challenges and maintain their unique identity,” CARICOM Secretary-General Dr. Carla Barnett said in a congratulatory message to Dominica’s Prime Minister Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit.

“Prime Minister, your important portfolio within the CARICOM Quasi-Cabinet as lead Head of Government for Labour (including intra-community movement of skills) is a significant responsibility in our integration movement”, the Secretary-General noted, adding that CARICOM looks forward to Dominica’s continued and active engagement in advancing the Community’s integration process.

“Excellency, our Community joins with the Government and People of Dominica in celebrating this Forty-Third Anniversary of Independence and offers best wishes for the continued advancement and growth of the Commonwealth of Dominica” Dr Barnett said.
