“Together we will continue building a Caribbean that is more resilient, more prosperous, more connected and better prepared for the future generations,” St.  Lucia’s Prime Minister Phillip J Pierre told the closing news conference.

Pierre, who is also  the chairman of the 15-member regional  integration grouping, said the discussions over the past four days had been “guided by one central objective (and that is)  ensuring that CARICOM delivers results that people can see and feel in their  every day lives.

“The true success of  CARICOM will not be the number of decisions we make, but whether our people see and feel the difference those decision’s make in their  every day lives,” Pierre said.
