A CARICOM–Australia forum opened yesterday with the Pacific nation promising to urge developed nations to honour financial pledges to beleaguered Haiti, which has been ravaged by earthquake, disease and political instability this year.
The commitment came following a call from outgoing CARICOM Secretary General Sir Edwin Carrington for assistance in getting countries to honour pledges amounting to billions of dollars, following the January earthquake in the CARICOM member state.
