Mr. Secretary-General, it is an honor for me to be here today to present my credentials as United States Plenipotentiary Representative to the Caribbean Community. The United States enjoys good relations with the countries of the Caribbean Community, so it is appropriate that the U.S. Government have direct representation with the CARICOM Secretariat.

The countries of CARICOM collectively constitute the third border of the United States, and they share strong cultural and historic ties with the U.S.
