Outgoing chairman of CARICOM, Roosevelt Skerrit
Outgoing chairman of CARICOM, Roosevelt Skerrit says the challenges and achievements of this year have clearly indicated that working together is the surest way for the regional body to make local, regional and international impact.
In the message that was released yesterday, the Dominican Prime Minister said the region made steady progress to advance the integration movement.
He pointed out that during the 45th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government, the body took the pivotal decisions to work towards the free movement of all CARICOM nationals and to advance measures to bring the regional capital market into being, with appropriate attendant amendments made to the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas.
Concerning the 25 by 2025 food security, he said the initiative picked up pace, with several Member States recording important initiatives to reduce the food import bill, and advance food and nutrition security.
Mr Skerritt noted the interventions on behalf of Haiti and the efforts to transition to renewable energy and increase energy efficiency.
