The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is attaching great importance to the Third International Conference on Financing for Development, which opened in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Monday.
CARICOM Heads of Government at their recent summit in Barbados stated that they;
“…looked forward to the identification of the financial resources, including new resources, required to assist developing countries in addressing their major development challenges, including those which will arise from implementation of Post-2015 Development Agenda and the SAMOA Pathway, trade liberalisation, global environmental degradation, including climate change and global security issues.”
CARICOM Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque will address the meeting on Thursday.
