ADDRESS BY H.E. BHARRAT JAGDEO, PRESIDENT, GUYANA, AT THE INAUGURATION OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) SECRETARIAT HEADQUARTERS BUILDING, 19 FEBRUARY 2005, LILIENDAAL, GREATER GEORGETOWN, GUYANA

Excellencies

Today, we gather to inaugurate the CARICOM Secretariat Headquarters Building at Liliendaal. This is indeed a proud moment for all Guyanese, especially for me as it represents the fulfilling of a promise made more than 30 years ago when the regional integration process began. The event must certainly rank among the more significant occasions in the life of our integration movement.

Acknowledgements

Salutations

The formal opening of the Headquarters of the Community in this rich and diverse land is a particularly touching occasion for me personally. I had to be here. I am honoured that I have the privilege to speak to this august gathering.

It is a moment filled with nostalgia but I must resist the temptation simply to indulge in fond reminiscence.
