Presentation By The Incoming Chairman Of Caricom Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister Of The Commonwealth Of Dominica At The 37th Meeting Of The Conference Of Heads Of Government Georgetown, Guyana, July 2016

It is with a degree of conviction, that we are on the right track, and with optimism for the future, that I assume Chairmanship of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). It is also at a time when the Conference of Heads of Government is being infused with new blood.

In welcoming the Most Honourable Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica and the Honourable Allen Chastanet, Prime Minister of Saint Lucia to the Conference, I note that in the last two years, six of the 15 members of this Conference are new to the table.

Remarks By The Secretary-general Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Ambassador Irwin Larocque At The Opening Of The Thirty-seventh Regular Meeting Of The Conference Of Heads Of Government Of The Caribbean Community   Georgetown, Guyana 4 July 2016

Normally I would begin by welcoming you all to the Thirty-Seventh Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).  However, I believe it is only fitting that at the outset, we should pay tribute  to a true  champion of CARICOM, the late Mr. Patrick Manning, former Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, who passed away last Saturday.
