The Conference on the Caribbean is taking place against the backdrop of the
recent coming into being of CARICOM Single Market in 2006 and the positive
efforts towards the creation of the framework for the Single Economy by 2008.
The Conference is scheduled to be convened on June 19-21 2007 in Washington D.C.
The Caribbean Diaspora has made significant contributions in many fields within
their host country while many have still kept links with their individual home
countries. The President of the United States acknowledged this contribution by
designating June as Caribbean American Heritage Month, since 2006. This
Conference is being scheduled during June 2007 to again direct the attention of
the people of the United States to the future of the Caribbean and its peoples.
At a regional level, CARICOM has recognized the important role the Diaspora
could play in the Region's efforts now and in the future and is prepared to take
steps to encourage this relationship.
This conference is therefore structured in such a way that there is Government
to Government , People to People and the interaction between the Governments and
the People. This will be the first time where the policy makers, the
International Financial Agency, academic community, private sectors, and people
of the Caribbean and the United States will interface in one Conference to
examine the growth and development of the Caribbean Community from a regional
perspective.
* The strengthening of the relationship between the United States and CARICOM by
addressing the priority areas for the future Caribbean growth and development
including issues related to trade, competitiveness and investment in mutually
beneficial and reinforcing ways.
* The deepening and broadening of the dialogue between the Governments and
People of CARICOM and the Government and People of the United States of America
which should result in the renewed appreciation of the policy makers for the
potential of the Caribbean.
* The strengthening of the relationship among the Caribbean Diaspora in the
United States as well as the energizing of the Diaspora and friends of the
Caribbean in support of the Region's Development.
* The enhancement of the image of the Caribbean in the United States.
