Excellency, I wish to welcome you to the Headquarters of the Caribbean Community as you present your Letters of Credence as the first Plenipotentiary Representative of Botswana.

Representatives of Faith Based Organizations across the Caribbean Community. I think it is appropriate that I commence with a few words from the Good Book which guides our beliefs.
“Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” (Psalm 133). “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and fortress” (Psalm 91).
