Caricom Secretary-General Irwin LaRocque says the Community’s accomplishments in 2013 are a testimony of its “determination and commitment to forge a common destiny as small unified States” even as he revealed that a Five-Year Strategic Plan to chart the way forward for the Region is almost completed.
In his end-of-year message, LaRocque said 2013 was a “reflective and celebratory” year which saw the Community observing its 40th anniversary under the theme ‘Celebration and Renewal’, which he says remains relevant as it basks in its “Caribbean-ness, rekindle the spirit of Community and continue our integration quest with an outlook that is shaped by new thinking and different approaches.”
The outlook will be influenced by the need for appropriate responses to the current global environment
