Incoming Chairman of the Conference
The Hon. Dickon Mitchell, Prime Minister of Grenada, will welcome Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders to St George’s from July 28-30 for the 47th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM.
He succeeds the President of Guyana, His Excellency Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who led the Community from January 1 to June 30, 2024.
Prime Minister Mitchell oversees Science and Technology (including Information and Communications) in the CARICOM Quasi-Cabinet. CARICOM nationals can now enjoy reduced roaming costs for intra-CARICOM travel thanks to efforts done under this portfolio. The signing of the Declaration of St George’s, Towards the Reduction of Intra CARICOM Roaming Charges paved the wave for this historic achievement which is being facilitated by regional network operators Digicel Group, and Cable and Wireless Communications. The Declaration, signed in 2022, enables the delivery of seamless mobile (cellular) services such as voice, SMS, and data.

Host Country · Grenada
Grenada is hosting the 47th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, from 28-30 July 2024 in St. George’s. It is hosting the Conference in the year of its 50th Independence Anniversary. At the same time, the Community is closing the curtains on its 50th Anniversary celebrations.
This meeting is also being held 35 years since the signing of the Grand Anse Declaration in Grenada, setting the process in motion to transition the Caribbean Community and Common Market to a Single Market and Economy. These key anniversaries will undoubtedly serve as an important anchor point for Heads of Government to develop an agenda for regional integration beyond CARICOM at 50.
