As I greet you on behalf of the Caribbean Community at this observance of Commonwealth Day, I must apologise for the absence of the Secretary-General who has been unavoidably detained in Trinidad. He sends his personal best wishes and regrets that he could not be part of this celebration involving the Commonwealth with participation by a segment of our population that is so close to his heart - the Youth.
