The Prime Minister of The Bahamas Philip Davis concluded one of the most successful terms as Chair of Caricom on 1 July 2023 and passed it seamlessly on to the Prime Minister of Dominica Roosevelt Skerrit. The problems are still there like Haiti and climate change but Mr. Davis is credited with moving the needle on climate change and on Haiti. He also convened the first political dialogue with the dependent territories that are still under the yoke of the British. Congratulations Mr. Davis.
