Caricom Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, in a congratulatory message to Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley on Trinidad and Tobago’s 55th anniversary of Independence, has praised the country for its progress at the national level and its significant contribution to promoting regional integration.
LaRocque said the people’s creativity and resilience has ensured that the country maintains a dynamism that has secured for it a place of prominence in many fields, including culture, sports, academia and diplomacy.
He also credits Trinidad and Tobago as a founding member of Caricom with providing significant promotion of regional integration, particularly in the areas of energy and security, for which it plays a lead role on the Quasi-Cabinet established by Caricom Heads of Government.
