This July, the CARICOM Heads of Mission in Havana came together to commemorate the 53rd Anniversary of CARICOM Day, celebrating over five decades of regional integration, solidarity, and the enduring spirit of the Caribbean.

Our celebrations began on July 3rd with a reception graciously hosted by the Dean of the CARICOM Diplomatic Corps and Ambassador of Guyana to Cuba. It was a wonderful evening of fellowship, reflecting the strong bonds that unite our Caribbean family.

On July 6th, we gathered at the CARICOM Heroes Park for a wreath-laying ceremony, paying tribute to the visionary founding fathers whose leadership laid the foundation for the Caribbean Community we proudly celebrate today.

The month of celebrations concluded on July 12 with a memorable CARICOM Family Day, hosted at the Residence of the Ambassador of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Diplomats, staff members, and their families enjoyed a day filled with authentic Caribbean cuisine, music, laughter, and the warmth of our shared heritage. A special highlight of the day was an interactive CARICOM knowledge quiz, where staff members and their families tested how well they knew the Caribbean Community they proudly serve, with exciting prizes awarded to the winners.

As part of the commemorations, we were also honored to join the Embassy of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas on July 6 in celebrating the country's 53rd Independence Anniversary and the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of its Embassy in Cuba.

For 53 years, CARICOM has stood as a symbol of cooperation, resilience, and unity among Caribbean nations. May we continue to strengthen our partnerships and work together for a more prosperous and united Caribbean.

Happy 53rd CARICOM Day!
