STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIR OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew, Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis

Twenty-Fifth Special Emergency Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM | 10 April 2026

The Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) met on 10 April 2026 to discuss issues relating to the governance of the Community that were raised by Trinidad and Tobago, including the reappointment of the Secretary-General of the Community. Neither the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago nor any representative from Trinidad and Tobago attended the meeting.

In keeping with the discussions among the Heads yesterday, information related to communication with Member States in preparation for, and during, the Fiftieth Regular Meeting of the Conference, as well as discussions and decisions taken by the Heads while meeting in retreat, is shared in the attachments (via the link).

It is hoped that, as the Community moves forward, it will be possible to return to the use of internal mechanisms for addressing the challenges that arise from time to time, so that unfortunate and erroneous statements do not diminish the progress toward deepening the integration process for the benefit of the people of the Region.
