Caricom Heads salute vision of the four founding fathers

chaguaramasLeaders of the Caribbean Community gathered Thursday at the Chaguaramas Convention Centre to salute the vision of the four founding fathers of the Community when leaders of Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana signed the treaty establishing CARICOM.  President Donald Ramotar did what Forbes Burnham did back in 1973 for Guyana.  President Ramotar said that 40 years ago the region was just emerging from colonialism and the then leaders recognised that to survive and prosper they needed to integrate. He said that even though much has changed and there has been some progress, the need for integration is greater now.treatysigning
