BRIDGETOWN - A significant new front for trade, economic and political cooperation between Africa and South America, with the Caribbean Community's involvement, has been established.
It came at the recent "First Africa-South America Summit" in the Nigerian capital of Abuja that was preceded months earlier by preparatory meetings in Addis Ababa, Ethopia and Santiago, Chile.
Two Caribbean Community leaders were among some 60 Heads of State and Government from Africa and South America attending the summit earlier this month - Presidents Bharrat Jagdeo of Guyana and Runaldo Venetiaan of Suriname.

Representation within the IPCGC
Representation within the IPCGC follows a structure similar to the Association of Caribbean States, and the “Greater Caribbean” is defined here as an area of cooperation in recognition of common ancestral heritages and common geographic spaces shared by the Indigenous Peoples of the region historically and at present. The IPCGC is open to legitimate representatives from the region who are recognized as such by their communities.
