It is always with great pleasure that I seize opportunities to return home when my schedule allows. All the more so today when that opportunity involves contributing to the development of a people-based institution such as the credit union movement.

ADDRESS BY THE RT. HON OWEN ARTHUR, PRIME MINISTER OF BARBADOS, AT THE OPENING OF THE CSME UNIT OFFICE, CENTRAL BANK OF BARBADOS, BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS

The event which we celebrate this evening will hopefully come to be regarded not so much as a small step in the creation of a Unit, but a giant step in our support of a cause. For it ushers in the formal commencement of the new economic arrangement for our region which hopefully will create for us a future which will be unrecognisable and more prosperous than the past out of which we have emerged.

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY- GENERAL OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE DEATH OF THE MINISTER OF TOURISM OF BERMUDA

It is with deep sorrow that I have learned of the passing of the Hon. David Allen, Minister of Tourism. The Government and People of Bermuda have lost a dynamic and committed representative.

The Region's Tourism Sector will sorely miss the energy and leadership which he so passionately displayed during his tenure as a member of the Board of Directors of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO).

MESSAGE FROM MR. EDWIN CARRINGTON, SECRETARY-GENERAL, CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) TO THE PRIME MINISTER AND PEOPLE OF ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES ON THE DISASTER CAUSED BY TROPICAL STORM LILI

On behalf of the Community, its Secretariat and on my own behalf, I extend sincerest condolences to the Government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and to the family of the deceased.
