REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY EDWIN W. CARRINGTON, SECRETARY-GENERAL, CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, ON THE OCCASION OF THE COMMISSIONING OF THE GUYANA DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR, 5 OCTOBER 2009, TIMEHRI, GUYANA

This is for me a most rare occasion, to have come to Timehri and not preparing to board a flight. The demands on me as the Secretary-General of CARIFORUM – CARICOM and Dominican Republic) have had me traveling frequently through this airport. However, though not traveling today the activity in which I am involved, is tied in some small way to making those flights safer!
