The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is working toward strengthening ties with Central American countries by mid 2009, said the pro tempore president of the regional bloc and current Belize Prime Minister, Dean Barrow.
Belize foresees using its temporary leadership of the Community and its membership in the System of Central American Integration (SCAI) to consolidate alliances between both multi lateral blocs, Barrow said.
Belize Prime Minister ratified his support of the CARICOM idea of setting up a single market and assured that this idea, suggested 20 years ago and being implemented, has been validated by the facts.
In his opinion, this idea should prevail since, clearly, no group of small nations or isolated countries can confront current world circumstances on its own.
Barrow referred to examples of the application of free movement of products, capital and services between some Caribbean states as well as an open flow of professionals throughout the region.
We must be prepared to confront challenges and exploit opportunities to be used as a platform aimed at maximizing benefits and minimizing damages. This is a complex undertaking and requires unity, he concluded.
