Statement Summary
IRWIN LAROCQUE Secretary General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), noted that the Â鶹APP is an Organization focused on multilateralism or the concept of nations striving together to resolve common problems. His region?s commitment to the Â鶹APP has been unwavering since one of its members joined 50 years ago, he said, noting that CARICOM has played an active role in placing on the Â鶹APP agenda on issues like climate change, the Law of the Sea and non?communicable diseases.
