Mr. Chairman, permit me first to thank the out-going Chairman of CARICOM, the Honourable Patrick Manning, for his excellent leadership of our regional integration movement during his tenure.

I anticipate continued excellence of leadership from our in-coming Chairman, the Honourable Denzil Douglas, to whom I pledge, as always, my fullest support and cooperation.
