President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday advocated for the forging of closer working partnerships between African and Caribbean nations so as to raise their power of overcoming common challenges such as Covid-19, climate change and public debt.
Speaking when he hosted the first African-Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Heads of State and Government meeting, President Kenyatta said leaders of the two regions need to deepen the existing historical and cultural ties that bind their nations so as to build strong socio-economic and political linkages that will promote shared prosperity and social progress.
The inaugural virtual meeting whose theme was, “Unity across continents and oceans: opportunities for deepening integration,” sought to promote closer collaboration between Africa, Caribbean and Pacific countries including their diaspora and institutions.
