The COVID-19 pandemic, economic recovery and climate resilience will top the agenda when Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and Canada’s foreign ministers meet virtually on Friday. 

Tomorrow’s meeting will be co-chaired by Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Marc Garneau  and  Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Immigration of Belize  Eamon Courtenay, the incoming Chairman for the CARICOM Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR).

With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to take a heavy toll on citizens, economies and livelihoods, the ministers are expected to examine areas for collaboration in response and recovery, as well as the issue of equitable access to vaccines.  
 
They are also expected to deliberate on rebuilding inclusive economies and promoting CANADA-CARICOM trade.  
 
The ministers will discuss action needed to fight Climate Change and work towards a cleaner, greener, bluer world in keeping with the Paris Agreement commitments and the Sustainable Development Goals.
