ADDRESS TO 2001 CONFERENCE OF THE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION OF THE CARIBBEAN BY HONOURABLE LESTER B. BIRD M.P. PRIME MINISTER OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA ON MONDAY, 4TH JUNE 2001

Mr Chairman, Distinguished Delegates.

Let me first thank you for giving me the privilege of addressing your Conference. As they say in the airline business, I know you have choices. I'm flattered you opted for me. I promise to return the favour by making this part of your Conference mercifully short.

Mr Chairman, I was intrigued with the theme of your Conference - "Riding the waves of Change".  It is a theme that has a special resonance for the Caribbean. Riding the waves of change aptly describes the Caribbean experience.
