At the invitation of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Chair, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0met the 15 leaders of the Caribbean Community during the 48th Regular Meeting of the CARICOM. \u00a0The visit aims at further strengthening the EU&#8217;s presence in the region and lay the groundwork for the EU-CELAC Summit, planned for later this year.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a new era of harsh geostrategic competition, Europe stands for openness, partnership and outreach. The visit took place in the context of the Commission&#8217;s effort to build new partnerships and strengthen old ones, which includes recent agreements with Mercosur, Mexico and Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0said:\u00a0<em>&#8220;Europe and the Caribbean may be an ocean apart, but we are close allies. We share so many interests and values, including our mutual support for Ukraine. Europe stands with the Caribbean countries in the fight against climate change, protecting nature and biodiversity, strengthening trade, and boosting investments through Global Gateway. Europe wants to be a fair and trusted partner for all regions of the world that want to work with us.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0also discussed with Caribbean partners the situation in Haiti. She underlined the EU&#8217;s commitment to Haiti&#8217;s recovery and security and its support to CARICOM efforts in this regard. In this context, a\u00a0package of \u20ac19.5 million EU support\u00a0was announced during the visit. This new financial support will complement ongoing efforts to deliver essential services to Haitians as well as support the country&#8217;s macroeconomic stability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0highlighted the EU&#8217;s commitment to supporting Caribbean partners in fighting climate change and its devastating impact on the islands. As the leading provider of climate finance, the EU is determined to work together on innovative financing, while promoting private sector investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At global level, the EU and the Caribbean are stepping up their energy partnership following the\u00a0launch of the Global Energy Transition Forum by President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0in Davos last month. She welcomed the 8 countries (Barbados, Guyana, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica)* that joined the forum during the summit, committing to action to meet the global targets of tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the visit, President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0underscored the reliability of the EU as a trade and investment partner to the region working together on mutually beneficial projects. President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0launched several projects under Europe&#8217;s Global Gateway strategy on renewable energy, digital transformation, pharmaceutical production and economic resilience. The projects will invest in a stronger, greener and better connected Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Key Global Gateway projects in the Caribbean<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Expanding Renewable Energy<\/strong>: Global Gateway energy projects are underway in 13 Caribbean countries, leveraging European expertise, technology, and financing tools. In this context, President\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0and Prime Minister Mottley announced a\u00a0\u20ac160 million green hydrogen storage project\u00a0by the French company HDF Energy, the first of its kind in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Advancing the Digital Agenda:<\/strong>\u00a0The EU and the Caribbean are strengthening their digital partnership with the signing of a\u00a0Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Caribbean and the European satellite company Hispasat\u00a0during the CARICOM meeting. It will improve the Caribbean&#8217;s satellite internet connectivity and sovereignty within the framework of the EU\u2013LAC Digital Alliance. As part of this initiative, the EU and Spain will provide a \u20ac10 million grant to support satellite broadband expansion and promote digital inclusion across the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Developing Local Pharmaceutical Production:<\/strong>\u00a0The EU&#8217;s\u00a0\u20ac8.9 million investment to promote local production and regulatory alignment with European standards\u00a0was also taken forward in the framework of the CARICOM meeting. A joint declaration to cooperate on twinning Caribbean and EU regulatory agencies, capacity-building initiatives, and research collaborations was signed during the meeting. Additionally, the first investment from a European pharmaceutical company, Biomed X in Barbados, will support research and manufacturing, further reinforcing the region&#8217;s health resilience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Supporting Post-Hurricane Reconstruction:<\/strong>\u00a0As part of the assistance given to Grenada in rebuilding Carriacou and Petite Martinique after Hurricane Beryl, the EU is supporting the islands to become 100% powered by renewable energy. This initiative will serve as a global model for small islands striving for climate resilience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Combating the Sargassum Challenge:<\/strong>\u00a0The EU, in collaboration with regional partners, is transforming the environmental and economic challenge of sargassum seaweed into an opportunity for sustainable development. Through an ongoing \u20ac386 million Global Gateway initiative, the EU is working with financial institutions such as the European Investment Bank and the private sector to develop sustainable value chains for sargassum, particularly in Grenada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>More information <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_25_518\">European Commisssion.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the first-ever visit of a European Commission President to the Caribbean, European Commission President Ursula\u00a0von der Leyen\u00a0reaffirmed Europe&#8217;s commitment to deepening its relations and partnership with the region.
