MESSAGE FROM THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) TO THE AFRICAN UNION (AU) ON THE OCCASION OF THE FIFT

The Caribbean Community conveys warm and fraternal wishes to the African Union (AU). It is with great pleasure that the kind invitation to our Secretary-General to be a specially invited guest to the Fifth Ordinary Session of Assembly of the African Union and to address the Opening Session was received. We were honored by this gesture and deeply regret that the coincidence of dates with our Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government - the supreme organ of the Caribbean Community - has prevented his attendance.

There is hope that our sargasso days are ending.
The promise of fresh wind turns our bow toward waiting horizons
plotting our course by our judgment of the sun
and the latitude of familiar stars.
