CARICOM HEADS OF GOVERNMENT TO MEET IN SPECIAL TWO-DAY SESSION IN SAINT LUCIA
CARICOM Heads of Government will be meeting in Castries, Saint Lucia, on the 13-14 November 2003, at their Ninth Special Meeting, to deliberate on issues arising from the Twenty-Fourth Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, held in Jamaica in July of this year.
The Meeting is being viewed as an opportunity for taking stock of the progress made on the issues discussed at the last Conference and for giving fillip and direction to the work to facilitate the earliest possible conclusion.
Of significance on the agenda will be the deliberations on the Governance of the Community including the establishment of an executive mechanism to facilitate the deepening of regional integration, as well as, the development of processes for strengthening the role of the Assembly of Caribbean Community Parliamentarians (ACCP).
The CARICOM Heads of Government will also be brought up-to-date on the status of arrangements for the inauguration and operationalisation of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
CARICOM Heads of Government are also expected to discuss US-Caribbean relations and the preparations for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
The current Chairman of CARICOM, The Most Hon. Percival J. Patterson, Prime Minister of Jamaica, will chair the meeting.
