One is to bring the territory into an active involvement with CARICOM, an organization whose name is a shortening of the term Caribbean Community. Twenty governments participate in the organization. Government House Communications Director Richard Motta Jr. said at the weekly Government House briefing the governor plans to “officially embrace the opportunity to join forces” with CARICOM. He said the territory and CARICOM had many of the same goals. The organization’s goals include enhancing regional trade and opening more job opportunities. The organization’s website also mentions fighting climate change, working to alleviate crime, and bringing better healthcare to the region.
