CARICOM Secretary-General Congratulates Lara
(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), H. E. Edwin Carrington has issued the following statement congratulating West Indies batsman Brian Lara on his becoming Test Cricket’s highest run scorer:
On behalf of the Caribbean Community, I extend heartiest congratulations to you on your achievement as Test cricket’s leading run scorer.
The dedication, determination, discipline and skill required to top the world in any field of endeavour are the province of a privileged few. You have shown that you possess them in abundance as you have now scaled the heights in three different categories in your chosen field. Many will agree with the statement of the man whose record was broken, Allan Border, that ‘there is no doubt that you are a genuine genius.’
The scale of your achievements brings immense pride to your country and to our region and is a constant and timely reminder of the ability that resides in the Caribbean.
Your demonstration of what can be achieved by acting with purpose and perseverance should serve as an outstanding example for the people of our community, particularly the youth.
May God continue to bless you, an outstanding son of the Caribbean.
