At the opening of the conference there were calls for dialogue to de-escalate the tensions between Cuba and the #US, with Jamaica’s prime minister Andrew Holness raising concerns about the “severe economic hardship, energy shortages and growing humanitarian strain” and its potential consequences on the wider region.

On Friday, the chair of #Caricom, St Kitts and Nevis prime minister, Terrance Drew, said that the 15-country bloc will be responding “in a significant way to help the humanitarian situation in #Cuba” within a month.
