On the occasion of CARICOM’s 50th anniversary, both the PPP/C government and the opposition APNU+AFC have felicitated the regional integration movement and restated their commitment to it.
Extending greetings to the region, President Irfaan Ali said: “The past 50 years have not been all smooth sailing. The Caribbean has been subject to many challenges including invasion, threats to our markets, the emergence of mega economic blocks, devastating natural disasters and geopolitical changes. As a constellation of small-island developing and low-lying coastal states, the Caribbean Community has been able to navigate these turbulent periods because we have stayed together as a united Caribbean family.
