STATEMENT BY MOST HON. P.J. PATTERSON, PRIME MINISTER, JAMAICA, ON THE OCCASION OF THE FORMAL LAUNCH OF THE CARICOM SINGLE MARKET, 20 JANUARY 2006, KINGSTON, JAMAICA

When you my colleagues conferred on Jamaica the singular privilege of hosting this ceremony, I had no hesitation in selecting as our venue the Mona Campus. There could be no more fitting location for this historic occasion, since this is indeed Caribbean soil. For nearly six decades now, the University of the West Indies has served as the fountainhead for regional learning, research and intellectual analysis. It has become the cradle which imbued in so many of us an unflinching commitment to regionalism.
