United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has announced his availability to serve a second term when his current term ends on December 31.
Arguably, Guterres is the UN Secretary-General that has paid the greatest attention to the concerns and challenges of the countries of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Over the last four years, the policies and priorities he has vigorously pursued and tirelessly advocated have aligned with the interests of the people of the region.
When three Caribbean countries experienced grave destruction in 2017 and 2019, Guterres made it his business to fly to them, not only to witness the devastation, but to make the world aware of the catastrophes, and to formulate plans to help.
