THE Caribbean Community (Caricom) has citied the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas and warned that member states must preserve regional integrity and cohesion in their external engagements.

Caricom issued a statement yesterday responding to a complaint from Guyanese President Dr Irfaan Ali about Venezuelan acting President Delcy Rodriguez wearing a brooch which featured a map of Venezuela and Essequibo during her visits to both Barbados and Grenada.

Caricom said the Treaty-its binding legal framework-defines not only the objectives of the Community but also the standard of conduct expected of its member states.
