Summary
Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness signals a new era for CARICOM during his visit to the secretariat in Guyana, calling for stronger regional unity as the bloc grapples with internal fractures — notably Trinidad and Tobago’s refusal to recognize Secretary General Carla Barnett’s reappointment, citing procedural violations. Holness, echoing a decade-old review that urged deeper integration and warned of potential withdrawal without progress, champions CARICOM as vital for tackling global challenges like climate change and economic fragmentation. His remarks hint at Jamaica’s renewed commitment to regional cohesion — but with leadership disputes simmering, the future of CARICOM’s unity hangs in the balance.
