Trinidad, CMC – Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders Thursday paid glowing tribute to the founding fathers of the regional integration movement insisting that CARICOM has a major role to play in the socio-economic development of the region.
Jamaica’s Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller told her colleagues from the 15-member grouping that
“integration is a process not an event” while the in-coming CARICOM chair and host Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar said “we must commit to either go forward together or to succumb to the negativity and unconstructiveness of the naysayers who declare CARICOM to be irrelevant.”
