A HOME OF OUR OWN : THE NEW CARICOM HEADQUARTERS BUILDING

The signing of the Treaty establishing the Caribbean Community and Common Market, commonly called the Treaty of Chaguaramas, on 4 July 1973, marked the culmination of years of talks among Caribbean visionaries for a deepened integration among the then independent countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean and the British dependent territories. This event, almost 32 years ago, was considered a milestone as the regional integration movement recorded its genesis in the formation of the Caribbean Free Trade Area (CARIFTA), the predecessor of CARICOM.

Excellencies

Today, we gather to inaugurate the CARICOM Secretariat Headquarters Building at Liliendaal. This is indeed a proud moment for all Guyanese, especially for me as it represents the fulfilling of a promise made more than 30 years ago when the regional integration process began. The event must certainly rank among the more significant occasions in the life of our integration movement.
