(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana – Saturday, 11 April 2026)\u00a0\u00a0 – The Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) met on 10 April 2026 to discuss the issues in relation to Governance of the Community that have been raised by Trinidad and Tobago, especially including the re-appointment of the Secretary-General of the Community. Neither the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago nor any representative from Trinidad and Tobago attended the Meeting.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the discussions among the Heads yesterday, information related to communications with Member States in preparation for and during the Fiftieth Regular Meeting of the Conference, as well as discussions and decisions taken by Heads while meeting in Retreat is shared in the attachments.<\/p>\n

It is hoped that as the Community moves forward, it will be possible to revert to the use of internal mechanisms for addressing the challenges that arise from time to time, lest unfortunate and erroneous statements diminish the progress towards deepening the integration process for the benefit of the people of the Region.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

-11 April 2026-
\nIn preparation for the 50th Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) which was held in St Kitts and Nevis from 24-27 February 2026, all Member States were duly informed of the Official Events, the Draft Agenda of the Conference and the Programme of Work indicating which Agenda Items were to be taken in Plenary sessions, in Caucus and in Retreat of Heads only.<\/p>\n

The Offices of all Heads of Government were informed of the date and venue of the Retreat via official correspondence prior to the Meeting of the Conference and via communication during the meetings.\u00a0 All Member States acknowledged receipt of all official correspondence related to the convening of the 50th Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago departed St Kitts and Nevis on the evening of the first day of the Conference, February 25, before the Retreat on February 26.\u00a0 On 25 February at 10:33 PM Foreign Minister Sean Sobers called the Secretary General on WhatsApp to inquire if he should attend the Retreat in the absence of his Prime Minister.\u00a0 He was advised he could and that other Heads who have had to leave may be represented by their Foreign Ministers. He indicated that he had a problem with seasickness so he may not be able to attend.<\/p>\n

At 10:55 PM on 25 February, Chairman received the following WhatsApp messages from the Secretary-General: \u201cChairman. TT Foreign Minister Sobers called me to ask if he should come to retreat in the absence of his PM. I indicated that other Heads who have left may be represented by their FMs.\u201d \u201cHe also indicated he gets seasick, so he\u2019s not looking forward to the boat ride. So we may not have TT represented tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 12:37 AM on 26 February, Secretary-General sent the following message to Minister Sobers: \u201cMinister, if the boat trip will cause nausea am sure the Chairman would understand if you chose not to come tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minister did not subsequently indicate to the Chairman or the Secretary-General that he would be willing and able to attend the Retreat.<\/p>\n

During the Retreat, under the Agenda item, Financing and Governance of the Community, Heads decided to consider the reappointment of the Secretary General and agreed to the reappointment as provided for under Article 24 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas.\u00a0 The Secretary General was not in the room during the discussion of this matter.<\/p>\n

A decision was also taken to delay the announcement so as to inform, as a matter of courtesy, the Heads who were not at the Retreat, before the official announcement was made. Attempts were made to reach the Heads who were absent to inform of the decision, but it was not possible to make contact with the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago by email or telephone call. After some efforts to reach the Prime Minister, the Chairman was asked to speak with the Foreign Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n

While on Retreat, under the Agenda Item on Financing and Governance, Heads of Government also agreed to establish a sub-Committee of Heads comprising Barbados, Dominica, Guyana and Jamaica to review the Governance and Financing of Community institutions.\u00a0 Under the Agenda Item Geopolitical Developments, Heads also agreed to issue a statement on CARICOM\u2019s Meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n

The Timeline of Correspondence overleaf sets out official communication with Member States on the preparation for the 50th Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM which was held in St Kitts and Nevis from 24-27 February 2026.<\/p>\n
