    "The CBC and CARICOM pledged to strengthen their relationship in a structured manner," said Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, the St. Vincent and the Grenadines prime minister and former CARICOM chairman. The congressman said if the next Conference on the Caribbean is held in New York, it would enable greater participation from the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and the Caribbean diaspora in New York, which has the greatest concentration of Caribbean nationals in the U.S.
