The CARICOM Secretariat has launched an online knowledge hub to highlight essential information and provide content related to the upcoming 49th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) which will take place 6 – 8 July in Montego Bay, Jamaica.  

This official online presence was designed as a gateway to the 49th Meeting, catering to a diverse range of stakeholders. It will include specific content created for regional and international media; foreign policy and international relations stakeholders; Caribbean youth leaders and advocates; Caribbean affairs specialists; policymakers; researchers, students, and the broader Community.

The knowledge hub provides details of the Meeting, including the thematic focus points, and the programme of events.  Other aspects of the platform include a section which will feature media releases and advisories; high-level speeches; image galleries; videos; and a consistently updated news section. The Meeting Communiqué will also be uploaded to the platform when it is released.
