Trade Ministers mark passing of Sir Alister McIntyre

By Aaron Humes:Last week, trade ministers of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) honored the late Sir Alister McIntyre, former CARICOM Secretary-General who died in April in Jamaica.

Sir Alister, 87, served as CARICOM Secretary-General from 1974 to 1977. Sir Alister was also appointed by Heads of Government as the Chief Technical Adviser to the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery, which was the forerunner to the current Office of Trade Negotiations.
