The newly appointed Secretary General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Irwin LaRocque says he will continue to concentrate on efforts to deepen the integration process within the within the 15-member CARICOM grouping.
“The future of the region lies with integration. In this world it is very difficult to go it alone and the more the region can do together to serve the development and to face the onslaught from the larger world, I think the imperative must be addressed,” LaRocque told state-owned DBS radio following the announcement of his appointment on Thursday.
Congratulations again to Irwin LaRocque, on his appointment as CARICOM Secretary General. Another proud moment to be Dominican.
Many of us expect to see the speeding up of the full implementation of the CSME. The integration of the Caribbean Community is so critical to the holistic socio economic development of the region and its people. We all look forward to the continued efforts at making the region one common economic space for the betterment of the present and future generations of Caribbean people.
GOD BLESS YOU AND WISH YOU WELL. I HOPE TO BE LIKE YOU ONE DAY AND CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MY COUNTRY AND THE REGION.
Maybe noe there will be the balance in the region, as the Caricom head understands the value that all islands regardless of size, bring to the issue of regional integration.
