Salutations:
The Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community, Mr. Edwin Carrington, would love to have been here this morning to witness this important activity, but unfortunately, he had another equally important previous commitment. I could not undertake that commitment for him, so it is my pleasure and honour to attend this one.
