The Heads of Government also reaffirmed their collective commitment to combating narcotrafficking and the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, both of which continue to pose significant threats to regional security and development. They underscored that these challenges must be addressed through sustained international cooperation conducted within the framework of international law.
In closing, CARICOM leaders restated their unequivocal support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and safety of all nations and peoples within the Caribbean region, pledging continued solidarity in safeguarding the region’s peace, stability, and shared prosperity.
