CARICOM Secretariat and the University of Guyana explore opportunities for collaboration

Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretary-General, Amb. Irwin LaRocque and Senior Secretariat staff met with the University of Guyana’s Tenth Vice Chancellor, Professor Ivelaw Griffith and members of the University’s Administration on Tuesday, 24 January 2017, at the CARICOM Secretariat.

The meeting was held at the initiative of the Vice-Chancellor and provided the opportunity for an exchange of views on programmes and areas of work that the Secretariat and the University are pursuing.  The Vice Chancellor shared his vision for the University and sought advice on how CARICOM could facilitate the pursuit of aspects of that vision. In this regard, the two sides were able to identify activities on which the opportunities for collaboration could be explored.

The meeting was seen as the occasion to renew the relationship between the CARICOM Secretariat and the University of Guyana.  As testimony to the strength of that relationship going forward the Secretary General and the Vice-Chancellor exchanged gifts.
