The first AFRICA / CARICOM Summit is Coming !!!
It is now official ! The first Africa/CARICOM Summit will be held on the morning of TUESDAY 7th SEPTEMBER 2021, commencing at 8 AM Eastern Caribbean time.
This is truly an historic event, and I hope and trust that it will be telecast LIVE to the people of our Caribbean Community on multiple platforms, inclusive of our national television stations.
Just imagine :
* Five hundred years after the commencement of the criminal and tragic European transportation of enslaved Africans to the Caribbean ;
* Seventy-six years after the seminal 5th Pan-African Congress that was held in Manchester, England in 1945, and that brought together the political activists of Africa and the Caribbean to conceive plans to bring about the decolonization of these two areas of the African world ;
* Fifty-eight years since the 1963 establishment of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) ;
* Fifty-three years after the founding of CARIFTA ; and
* Forty-eight years after the establishment of CARICOM
the Heads of Government of Africa and the Caribbean Community will FINALLY be sitting down around a table -- virtual though it may be -- discussing their common origin, history, concerns and objectives, and planning a bright future of collaboration and solidarity !
Participating in the Summit will be such Heads of Government as President Uhuru Kenyatta, Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, President Nana Akufo-Addo, Prime Minister Gaston Browne, President Cyril Ramaphosa, Prime Minister Keith Rowley, President Paul Kagame, and Prime Ministers Ralph Gonsalves and John Briceno, among others.
The Summit will also benefit from the input of the new Secretary General of CARICOM, Dr Carla Barnett, and the Chair of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mousa Faki Mahamet.
And it is anticipated that these deliberations will lead to multiple initiatives of unity, collaboration, institution building, and people-to-people exchanges between AFRICA and the CARIBBEAN.
This is truly an historic event that the masses of our Caribbean and African people must fully share in.
Let the word therefore go out all across the Caribbean and the wider African Diaspora that the SUMMIT meeting of Tuesday 7th September 2021 promises to be a towering milestone in our long and determined struggle to rebuild our magnificent, autonomous PAN-AFRICAN CIVILIZATION !
Africa and the Caribbean are finally coming back together at the highest levels of government and policy-making !
