GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders will meet in Haiti next month, the Guyana-based CARICOM Secretariat announced Tuesday.
It said that the arrangements for the February 18-19 meeting had been finalised at the 31st meeting of the CARICOM Council of Ministers meeting here on Monday.
This will be the first time that Haiti will be host of a CARICOM summit. The French-speaking CARICOM country, which is recovering from a powerful January 12, 2010 earthquake that killed 300,000 people and left more than a million others homeless, assumed chairmanship of the 15-member grouping in January.
