Led by Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines hosts the event, which brings together heads of state and government and other government officials from the 33 countries of the union.
The summit will take place at the Sandals Resort in Buccament Bay and at its opening the local Minister of Foreign Affairs, Keisal M. Peters, will lead the organization to present a report on the administration of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Celac was founded in December 2011 with the aim of promoting unity and political, economic, social and cultural integration among member states.
With this meeting, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines bid farewell to its mandate at the head of the bloc and becomes the first member of the Caribbean Community to assume this responsibility.
