PNCR MESSAGE ON THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF CARICOM

Jul 01, 2013 News

On the 40th Anniversary of the Regional Integration movement, the People’s National Congress Reform extends warm congratulations to the people of the Caribbean Community, the staff of the CARICOM Secretariat and to the Guyanese people, for a happy and meaningful CARICOM Day 2013.
Forty years ago the Treaty of Chaguaramas established the Caribbean Community and Common Market, later known as CARICOM. At the 8th Heads of Government conference of the Caribbean Free Trade Association (CARIFTA) held in April 1973, in Georgetown Guyana, the decision was made to establish the Caribbean Community. The process through which it was to be established is set out in the Georgetown Accord issued by that conference.
The Founding Fathers of CARICOM and the signatories to the  Treaty of Chaguaramas were Prime Ministers Hon. Errol Barrow for Barbados; Hon. Forbes Burnham for Guyana; Hon. Michael Manley for Jamaica; and Hon. Eric Williams for Trinidad and Tobago.
The PNCR takes great pride in the role of our Founder Leader in the regional integration movement. Our Party trusts that even as we celebrate this occasion, we will all continue to commit ourselves to the strengthening and advancement of our common Caribbean home.
The PNCR has played a pivotal role in promoting and sustaining the movement for the development of a common Caribbean identity and a strong Regional Economy, is familiar with the recent challenges which have tested the resolve and commitment of the Leaders of the Community.
The integration process has been challenged before, in various ways, but it has survived them and as a result, is today one of the oldest integration movements in the World.
The PNCR would never lose faith in the resilience of the Community, despite the trials. On this the 40th Anniversary, we affirm our commitment to the Integration Process and our Caribbean Leaders, in the confident expectation that all obstacles and challenges will be overcome, so that the Community will be enabled  to play an even greater role in the lives of all of the citizens of this our  Caribbean Region.
HAPPY CARICOM DAY!
