The Caribbean Community congratulates Grenada on its Forty-Eighth Anniversary of Independence, noting the country’s resolute movement along the path to development.
CARICOM Secretary-General, Dr. Carla Barnett, in a congratulatory message to Grenada’s Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell, commended the country’s significant contribution to promoting regional integration.
She says there is much for the Government and People of Grenada to be proud of since achieving independence forty-eight years ago and that Grenada’s contribution globally in academia, sports, culture and diplomacy is well documented.
The theme chosen for this year’s festivities, “Overcoming our Adversity-Safeguarding Livelihoods-Protecting our Future” speaks to the firm determination of all Grenadians to play an active role in the continued development and prosperity of the country.
Dr. Barnett says the Caribbean Community welcomes Grenada’s steadfast leadership on Science and Technology (including Information and Communications), for which Dr. Mitchell has portfolio responsibilities in the Quasi-Cabinet of the CARICOM Conference of Heads of Government.
