May 27, 2010 News

CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown , Guyana )    The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) will be locked in talks with the United States at the Inaugural Caribbean-United States (  U.S. ) Security Cooperation Dialogue from today, towards a security cooperation arrangement to tackle criminal and security threats to the region.
The Security Dialogue to be held in Washington D.C. , USA , is in keeping with a commitment made by U.S. President Barack Obama at the Fifth Summit of the Americas held in Trinidad and Tobago in April 2009, to pursue a security partnership with the Caribbean through a Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI).
Since the Summit , CARICOM and U.S. officials have met jointly to define and develop the goals and scope of the CBSI, which has been rationalised as a “multi-year, multi-faceted effort by the US Government and Caribbean partners to develop a joint regional citizen safety strategy to tackle the full range of security and criminal threats to the Caribbean Basin .”
Senator Dr Errol Cort, Chairman of the CARICOM Council for National Secuirty and Law Enforcement (CONSLE) will lead the CARICOM delegation. US Attorney General Eric Holder is among the Washington officials who will be in dialogue with the CARICOM delegation.
