PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad — The secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, on Wednesday travelled to Trinidad and Tobago to attend the 34th regular meeting of the conference of heads of government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), where he will speak during the opening of the event in Port of Spain.
During his stay in Trinidad and Tobago, the secretary general will attend events commemorating the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Chaguaramas on July 4, 1973, which established CARICOM as a regional integration body.
