There are times when the Caribbean’s demonstration of unity, particularly among members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), is admirable.

Examples of the cooperation and agreement occur on several levels. We have spoken with one voice on the need to end the unconscionable United States of America economic embargo of our Caribbean neighbor, Cuba. We come together to ensure that our University of the West Indies (UWI) remains one of the premiere global higher institutions of learning.
