OPENING REMARKS   BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) AMBASSADOR IRWIN LAROCQUE ON THE OCCASION OF THE CARIFORUM STAKEHOLDERS’ CONSULTATION WITH THE ACP EMINENT PERSONS’ GROUP (EPG) ON THE FUTURE OF THE ACP GROUP ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA 1 November 2013

It is quite fitting that such a discussion about the future of the African Caribbean Pacific Group of States (ACP) should take place in the Caribbean, for it is in this Region that the idea was conceived and it was this Region that played a pivotal role in the formation of this grouping.  It is also fortunate that among the participants over the next two days are some who were present at the 1972 informal discussion in Georgetown, Guyana among Foreign Ministers of Africa and the Caribbean which eventually led to the ACP. I refer to Sir Shridath Ramphal and Sir Edwin Carrington.
