Caricom Out-Going Chairman Confident The Region Can Overcome Challenges

The outgoing Chairman of the Caribbean Community has expressed confidence in the region’s ability to overcome its challenges.

In an end-of-year message, Suriname President, Chandrikapersad Santokhi, noted CARICOM has come to the end of a year that has seen the region slowly emerge from the adverse social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, President Santokhi, said that threat of the virus has not evaporated, and neither has the debt crisis nor the climate crisis.

In addition, he said the attack by Russia on Ukraine had complicated the recovery from the COVID Pandemic, slowing a return to normalcy in a Post-COVID world.
