NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the prime minister and the citizens of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, extended its sincere gratitude and appreciation to Ambassador Colin Granderson, former assistant secretary-general of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), for his stellar service as a career diplomat and for the many contributions and sacrifices he made towards regional integration within the Caribbean.
The ministry also thanked Granderson for his diplomatic tenure of 45 years, which began in Trinidad and Tobago’s Foreign Service before he later received posts at the United Nations Mission in Africa and the Organization of American States in the Republic of Haiti before becoming the principal foreign policy advisor for CARICOM.
In a statement, the ministry said: “He is regarded as one of the Caribbean’s leading experts relative to human rights monitoring and peacebuilding/peacekeeping.
“Ambassador Granderson is also well-known for his passionate approach to foreign policy matters (healthcare, education and disaster management) and for his leadership and expertise regarding Haiti and the wider Caribbean region.
“His inputs and contributions at the regional level will be greatly missed.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes him all the best on his retirement and future endeavors.”
