Regional Secretaries-General seek enhanced coordination

Apr 22, 2009 News

The Secretaries-General of the Caribbean Community, the Association of Caribbean States and the Central American Integration System, met on Monday following the conclusion of the Fifth Summit of the Americas to examine the scope for further strengthening coordination among the secretariats and exchanging opinions regarding their common objectives.
In the spirit of their respective mandates, the Secretaries-General reached agreements that are indicative of their commitment to ensuring greater collaboration in the thematic areas that are of common interest to their organizations. This demonstrates the links shared among CARICOM, the ACS and SICA.
Yesterday, the CARICOM Secretariat said that the Secretaries-General agreed to promote increased coordination among the three secretariats and to establish focal points in their respective Organisations.
The focal points will be responsible for coordinating the follow-up to the SICA-CARICOM Plan of Action and provide regular status reports on the implementation and advancement of the Plan of Action.
During the meeting it was also agreed that the Secretaries-General will host consultations among their Organisations, particularly regarding issues of priority interest to both the CARICOM and SICA regions. These will examine the international financial crisis, regional security and climate change.  They also agreed to promote greater participation by the Secretariat of the Association of Caribbean States in the development of the SICA-CARICOM Plan of Action, especially concerning matters related to the environment, natural disasters, trade and investments, air transport, tourism and Caribbean Sea issues.
The increased participation by the Caribbean and Central American entrepreneurs in the development of initiatives in both regions was also discussed.
