The year 2013 has come to a close and with it, my tenure as Chairman of the Conference of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
My Chairmanship coincided with the celebration of the 40th anniversary of our Community and it was my distinct honour and privilege to have hosted the Thirty-Fourth Conference of Heads of Government, and, on the 4th of July, the commemoration of our milestone at Chaguaramas, the birthplace of our Community.

End of Year Message by Ambassador Irwin LaRocque,  Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM)

2013 was a reflective and celebratory year for the Community as we marked our 40th Anniversary.  That we have come thus far is testimony to our determination and commitment to forge a common destiny as small unified States in this unique corner of the world called the Caribbean.  Our Anniversary Theme of ‘Celebration and Renewal’ remains relevant as we bask in our Caribbean-ness, rekindle the spirit of Community and continue our integration quest with an outlook that is shaped by new thinking and different approaches.
