In his message to mark World Day for Cultural Diversity on Wednesday, CARICOM Secretary General Edwin Carrington acknowledged the key role of cultural understanding, cooperation and awareness to the effective implementation of the Community’s flagship programme, the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).
He asserted that “the foundation of our regionalism is located in the common historical and cultural heritage of the Caribbean,” a press release from the CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, said.
Carrington also called on the Community to respect and promote the principles of cultural diversity so it would be a place built on mutual understanding and respect for all cultures.
