MESSAGE FROM MR. EDWIN CARRINGTON, SECRETARY-GENERAL, CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) TO THE PRIME MINISTER AND PEOPLE OF ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES ON THE DISASTER CAUSED BY TROPICAL STORM LILI
 

 

I have learnt with great distress the reports of loss of life of several of your citizens as well as of the extensive damage caused to houses, public buildings and agricultural production in St. Vincent and the Grenadines resulting from the passage of Tropical Storm Lili through your country yesterday.

On behalf of the Community, its Secretariat and on my own behalf, I extend sincerest condolences to the Government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and to the family of the deceased.

The Secretariat stands ready to give whatever assistance it can to the Government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in this difficult time.
