SECRETARY BLINKEN: Thank you very, very much. Prime Minister Skerrit, CARICOM chair, Prime Minister Rowley, Secretary General Barnett - all of our esteemed colleagues here today, all of our friends, it is an honor to be with you to celebrate CARICOM's 50th anniversary. If you go back to the Fourth of July of 1973, when CARICOM's initial members signed its founding treaty, the then prime minister of Jamaica, Michael Manley, said this: "We must seek our strength in our unity. And then we must dedicate that strength to the building of a new life of opportunity and security for our people.
