Grenada:\u00a0<\/strong>Cura\u00e7ao is now the 6th associate member of the Caribbean Community, CARICOM. The CARICOM members welcomed this Dutch Caribbean Island under the new Chairmanship of Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell during the 47th\u00a0CARICOM\u00a0Meeting in Grenada.<\/p>\n

The annual meeting aims to discuss several regional issues, such as the impact of climate change, sustainable development, agri-food and nutrition security, and much more.<\/p>\n

While sharing the development of Curacao\u2019s official admission on its official Facebook account, PM Mitchell noted, \u201cLet\u2019s join together to welcome Cura\u00e7ao on its admission to CARICOM as the sixth Associate Member.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also expressed his best wishes to Prime Minister of Cura\u00e7ao,\u00a0Gilmar Pisas\u00a0for the continued advancement and prosperity of the CARICOM.<\/p>\n

As the island was officially announced as a member state, Prime Minister Pisas remarked, \u201cToday marks another historic event for Cura\u00e7ao as we formally join the Caribbean Community as its sixth associate member, thereby honoring the commitment of the country to our shared responsibility for the sustainable development and overall progress and well being of all nations within CARICOM.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further reiterated his commitment to be an integrated part of\u00a0CARICOM\u00a0and noted that the island\u2019s cultural identity is linked to the rich historical heritage of the Caribbean region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe intend to demonstrate a firm commitment towards CARICOM and the common aspirations of its members,\u201d added the Cura\u00e7aoan Prime Minister. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Cura\u00e7ao leader further emphasized that by joining CARICOM, the nation is affirming its commitment to work together in the interest of the collective values and aspirations that bind all the member states as one.<\/p>\n

In addition, CARICOM\u2019s mission to promote economic integration and ensure sustainable development for all its members aligns perfectly with the nation\u2019s objective as they embark on this new chapter, highlighted PM Gilmar Pisas.<\/p>\n

Not only this, but he further expressed his commitment to contributing to and benefiting from the synergies that CARICOM members offered.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegional integration and cooperation are therefore not only beneficial but also essential for our future development in the Caribbean region,\u201d he further added.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also said that he is looking forward to participating in CARICOM\u2019s robust network of support across the region and working together with other members on significant issues impacting mutual progress, resilience, and sustainability.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister cited that economic integration is at the heart of CARICOM\u2019s mission. This is why Curacao\u2019s strategic location and well-developed physical and professional service infrastructure can serve as a hub for regional trade.<\/p>\n

According to him, by investing in connectivity and logistics, the island nation can also help streamline the movement of goods and services across the Caribbean, boosting economic activity among the nations and creating jobs for everyone by working together.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, in order to demonstrate Curacao\u2019s firm commitment to regional trade, PM Pisas said that they already have in place agreements with the\u00a0Dominican Republic\u00a0and Trinidad and Tobago and will soon have one with Suriname. He said that these agreements will result in mutually beneficial trade agreements.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister also expressed his gratefulness to all the CARICOM member states and said that he will continue to strengthen relations with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
