The leaders of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) will close their 46th conference in Guyana today, after three days of intense debates on the main problems of the region in order to outline strategies to overcome them.

Apart from the heads of government of the area, the conclave was attended by representatives of countries from Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America to broaden contacts with the Caribbean countries and explore the potential for cooperation.

The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, will join the closing day on Wednesday and will also hold working meetings with his Guyanese counterpart, Irfaan Ali, and that of Suriname, Chan Santokhi, to discuss matters of bilateral and trilateral interest.

The meeting will end with a press conference at the end of the afternoon and the leaders of the group are expected to present the results and consensus reached during the meeting.

The 46th Caricom Heads of Government Conference was extended from Sunday and focused on deepening regional integration and better promoting Caribbean interests in the international arena.

This space determines the political guidelines of the group, concludes treaties of interest and establishes relations with other international organizations and countries of the world.
