The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) marks its 52nd anniversary today, CARICOM Day 2025, with a reflection on the region’s shared history, culture, and aspirations for the future.
In an official statement, the Community recognised its status as the oldest surviving integration movement globally. The achievements of past leaders were highlighted as the foundation upon which current efforts toward progress and peace continue to build.
“The past year presented significant challenges for the region,” the statement said, pointing to Hurricane Beryl and other climate-related events that strained recovery and development efforts. Additional complications were noted from shifting global trade and tariff regimes and military conflicts in several international arenas.
