Adequate financing is critical to our region’s sustainable development. Hence, we look forward to the July 2015 third International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa to deliver actionable commitments and a robust framework on development financing and means of implementation. While we are prepared to do our part, the United Nations system itself must lend its weight to securing reliable, accessible and adequate financing for development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) such as those of CARICOM.
Statement by The Hon. Frederick A. Mitchell, M.P. Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration on behalf of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) at the High-level Thematic Debate on Strengthening cooperation between the United Nations and regional and sub-regional organizations, Monday 4 May 2015.
