Brexit brings Caricom’s role into focus – Saint Lucia PM

The recent referendum which will see Britain exiting the European Union (EU) has brought the survival of integration in the Caribbean Region into focus, Prime Minister of Saint Lucia Allen Chastanet said last evening while noting that the role and purpose of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) is also being questioned.

“People are once again asking what is in it [being part of Caricom) for me and my country,” he said in remarks during the opening ceremony of the 37th Heads of Government Conference being held in Guyana. The meeting which is being co-hosted by Guyana ends tomorrow.
