CARICOM yesterday congratulated the President-elect of the United States, Joseph Biden, on his victory in the elections of 2 November.
In a statement dated November 9th, CARICOM said that the historic nature of the victory is underlined by the election of Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris, a person of Caribbean and South Asian descent, as the first woman to achieve that position.
Biden, the statement said, will assume office during one of the most challenging periods of recent history and his vast experience will be of great value at this time.
“The President-elect has been a friend to CARICOM and the Community looks forward to working with the new administration of the United States, in pursuing our common goal of advancing the wellbeing of our people. It is a country with which the Community is inextricably linked through geography, shared values, familial ties, and economic and security relations”, the statement added.
