Caribbean countries remain economically vulnerable and require continued support, according to the Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community Secretariat, CARICOM.

Irwin LaRocque was at UN Headquarters in New York over the weekend to meet with the UN Secretary-General and a group of ministers from the CARICOM nations.
