CARICOM diversifying, widening links in response to global changes – Secretary-General

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is diversifying and widening its foreign policy thrust in response to shifts in balance of powers as well as the dynamic and fluid changes taking place in the global environment.

While it was both challenging and necessary, the Community has also acknowledged and responded accordingly to the management of shared problems in an interdependent world, in the formulation and coordination of its foreign policy.

Speech by Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, Secretary-General,  Caribbean Community (CARICOM) At the Forum on the Future of the Caribbean, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, 6 May, 2015

It is indeed a pleasure for me personally, as well as the CARICOM Secretariat, to be associated with this “one of a kind” event. This “Forum on The Future of the Caribbean” could not be more timely and relevant given the challenging regional and international circumstances.

I am particularly heartened by the range of participants involved during these three days. I look forward to the practical outcomes and policy directions to be derived from this exercise in ‘disruptive thinking’ which I am sure will stimulate ideas and debate.
