CARICOM Secretary-General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque on Wednesday despatched a message of condolence to the government and people of Mexico, expressing his anguish with the widespread destruction and continuing trauma there.

The Community also sympathises with those displaced by the damage caused by the earthquake and hopes that critical infrastructure will be restored in swift time.
