GEORGETOWN, Guyana: The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organization of American States (OAS) at their fourth meeting in Georgetown, Guyana, Friday hailed a stronger working relationship between the two organizations, underscoring the contributions that both have made towards institutional strengthening in Haiti.

Insulza pledged to support preparatory work on the Conference on the Caribbean that is scheduled to be held in Washington, DC, in June.
