PRESENTATION BY THE HONOURABLE SIR SHRIDATH RAMPHAL, OCC, TO THE PARTICIPANTS AT THE REGIONAL DIPLOMATIC TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR MID-CAREER DIPLOMATS IN THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 20 MAY 2009, GEORGETOWN, GUYANA

I want to begin by congratulating the CARICOM Secretariat on the mounting of this Workshop. It is no secret that I place great store by the role of Caribbean diplomacy over nearly fifty years of engagement with the international community. Some of our most notable achievements have been in this field – at the United Nations, in the Non-aligned Movement, in the Commonwealth, in Brussels and in Geneva, in the ACP and at the OAS – and always on the right side of history! You are heirs to a great tradition. It will be your challenge to enhance it.
