SURINAME
HOSTING CRITICAL CARICOM MEETINGS |
February 13, 2005
Caribbean Community (CARICOM) |
|
Secretary-General Mr. Edwin Carrington
arrived in Paramaribo, Suriname on Friday February 11
with a team from the CARICOM Secretariat to brief the
Chairman of the Community, Suriname’s President
His Excellency Drs. Ronaldo Venetiaan as he prepares
to preside over the Sixteenth Inter-Sessional Meeting
of CARICOM Heads of Government on Wednesday and Thursday
16-17 February. The briefing was held at the Office
of the President and looked at the agenda issues as
well as the several meetings to take place in the run
up to the Heads of Government meeting.
As
part of the preparatory process, the Community’s
Legal Affairs Committee (LAC) and Preparatory Committee
for the Establishment of the Caribbean Court of Justice
(PREPCOM) concluded meetings in Paramaribo on February
11. On Tuesday 15 February the Community Council will
meet to discuss several matters that are to be placed
before the Heads of Government for their consideration.
On Tuesday CARICOM Ministers of Foreign Affairs are
also scheduled to participate in a range of meetings
including a caucus, a meeting with a delegation from
India, an exchange with the Foreign Minister of Brazil
and a briefing session with the United Nations Special
Representative on Haiti.
President
Venetiaan expressed confidence that the week of meetings
culminating in the Meeting of Heads of Government
will be successful. He recognised the critical role
of the chairman and committed to undertaking, along
with members of the Government of Suriname, the important
functions with which they have been entrusted.
Meanwhile
the CARICOM Secretary-General pointed to what he described
as the hard work ahead for the Heads of Government
and officials who will be participating in the various
meetings, but noted that, “the many issues before
us are critical for the forward movement and development
of the Caribbean Community.”
Reflecting on the history of the 31 year-old Regional
grouping, Mr. Carrington said no other grouping of
developing countries has been in continuous existence
for as long as CARICOM which continues to evolve through
the collective commitment of its people and leaders.
He expressed confidence that the Inter-Sessional Meeting
will be fruitful under the leadership of Suriname.
