Members of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) were yesterday encouraged to count their blessings rather than wallow in a sense of pessimism at the failures of the integration movement.
This call was made by Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines Ralph Gonsalves, who used his speech at the opening of the 37th Caricom Heads of Government Conference to address the many critics of the integration movement.
According to Gonsalves, those writers who consistently speak negatively of Caricom, claiming among other things, that it is comatose, have failed to acknowledge the tremendous progress the organization has made over the years.
