The landmark side event “From Shared Roots to a Shared Future: Africa and the Caribbean Unite” has not only made history as the first Afreximbank-partnered conference in Jamaica but also spotlighted cultural diplomacy as a bold strategy to shape a new era of Afro-Caribbean cooperation.
Held at Half Moon Conference Centre during the 49th CARICOM Heads of Government Meeting, the event convened senior leaders from government, business, finance, and the creative industries. It was declared open by Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica, with dignitaries and leaders from St. Kitts, Antigua and Barbuda, and Bermuda also making appearances, each signalling a shared commitment to cross-regional integration.
