With a wreath-laying ceremony before the sarcophagus of the Liberator Simon Bolivar, in the National Pantheon of Caracas, the embassies of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries accredited to Venezuela commemorated the 51st anniversary of the integration mechanism.

The Deputy Minister for the Caribbean of the Ministry of People's Power for Foreign Affairs, Raúl Li Causi, accompanied the ambassadors of Haiti, Lesly David; Trinidad and Tobago, Edmund Dillon; Suriname, Gustaf Rasiman; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Gareth Bynoe; Barbados, Aquinas Joseph Clarke; Guyana, Richard Van West-Charles; and Antigua and Barbuda, Anthony Liverpool.

The representative of the Bolivarian Government ratified the Venezuelan State's commitment to collaboration with the regional bloc, while extending his congratulations to the member countries of the Community, promising them a bright future and reiterating their willingness to continue strengthening cooperation ties.

CARICOM is an integration mechanism that was created on July 4, 1973, with the signing of the Treaty of Chaguaramas, in order to consolidate the unity of its 15 member States and 5 associate members.

In 51 years of creation, Venezuela has been promoting different cooperation policies, especially since the beginning of the Bolivarian Revolution, with Caribbean nations, along the lines of Peace Diplomacy, and inclusive multilateralism, solidarity and the vision of building a multicentric and multipolar world.
