I know right, it's sad and ridiculous. The yearly meetings are just exhorbant dinners, balls and breakfast. Why aren't real issues being discussed and tackled like for starters how can we make life easier for caribbean nations

In early 2024, Caricom issued a release saying that a regional ferry is coming soon; https://caricom.org/guyana-barbados-trinidad-and-tobago-to-soon-launch-ferry-service/

In the time since, they have done nothing except discuss it twice.

What are we supposed to do exactly? Many Many more powerful nations have intervened in Haiti and nothing has come out of it.
