KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY H.E. EDWIN CARRINGTON, SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE OCCASION OF THE UNFPA MEDIA AWARDS, 2 DECEMBER 2006, MONA, JAMAICA

Over the years I have learnt to take up any offer to hold hands with the media with a hint of trepidation. But this time around I feel safer as the chaperone is the United Nations. And even though not the blue helmets of the peacekeeping force, the United Nations Population Fund grants me enough cover to feel reasonably safe particularly as over the years we have had a close and fruitful co-operation relationship. We look forward to an even closer and more productive relationship in the face of the upcoming restructuring.
