Regional pollster Peter Wickham has said CARICOM has emerged stronger from its latest heads of government meeting, pointing to diplomatic compromise, legal clarity, and renewed political engagement as signs of maturing regional integration.

The 51st Regular Meeting of the Conference of CARICOM Heads of Government, which ended on Wednesday in Saint Lucia, arrived at a critical juncture for regional integration, he said.

The regional leaders grappled with heavy agendas encompassing digital transformation, climate change mitigation, and the ongoing crisis in Haiti.
