Bermuda is considering becoming a full-fledged member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and is initiating a consultation process.<\/p>\n
Governor Rena Lalgie made the disclosure during the delivery of the government\u2019s Throne Speech on Friday; telling the Bermuda House of Assembly that full membership in CARICOM was \u00a0a vision of former Premier Dame Jennifer Smith who desired the island nation to \u201cstrengthen the historic, familial, and cultural ties to the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said that beginning discussions now, on the process of gaining full membership in CARICOM is right, as the country is marking 20 years as an associate member.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this anniversary year, the Government will renew the vision of Dame Jennifer, initiating a consultation process leading to full membership in CARICOM,\u201d Governor Lalgie said.<\/p>\n
