    (CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana)  -- The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has expressed sympathy to the Government and people of Suriname on the untimely passing of former Minister of Government Mr Winston Lackin.

     

    CARICOM Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, in a message of condolence to the President of Suriname HE Desire Bouterse, recalled Mr Lackin’s earlier career at the Rio Branco Institute in Brazil and his sojourn in the Suriname Foreign Service, which, he said, served him well on his assumption of the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Suriname. He served in that position from 2010 to 2015.

    “Minister Lackin’s energy and vibrant personality were continuously evident in the Councils of the Community during his tenure,” Ambassador Laroque noted.

    “His commitment to CARICOM and determination to ensure Suriname’s prominent role in advancing the goals of the integration process were a feature of his contributions to the discussions.  His contributions were always underpinned by a full command of the issues at hand,” the Secretary-General added.

    He said those characteristics were also evident in Mr Lackin’s role as Ambassador for the Environment, highlighted by his organization of a major international conference on climate financing for High Forest Cover and Low Deforestation (HFLD) countries in Suriname last February.

    The 64 year old  Mr Lakin died in Suriname on Monday.
