Former B’dos PM to address Rotary dinner

Feb 26, 2009 News

Former Prime Minister of Barbados, Owen Arthur, is scheduled to deliver the feature address at Rotary’s World Understanding Dinner tomorrow at the Pegasus Hotel.
Mr. Arthur’s address before an anticipated audience of 250 representatives of government, business, civil society and other organizations, will examine the economic and social actions necessary for success of the regional integration project.
Several leading local businesses are assisting the Rotary Club of Georgetown in mounting the event which commemorates the founding of Rotary on February 23, 1905. While shouldering responsibilities as the lead Prime Minister for the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), Mr. Arthur was renowned for his persistent commitment to integration.
He saw his role as helping “ordinary citizens make sense of the bewildering,” and consistently made the case that regional integration is the essential foundation for successful national and regional development.
Mr. Arthur continually urges citizens and stakeholders to “give Caribbean unity a chance.”  As far back as 1998 he foresaw the problems of global recession when he addressed the annual meetings of the World Bank and the IMF.
At that time he warned of calamitous consequences unless there was urgent reform of the international monetary and financial system.  In that address, he observed that “manner matters just as much as measures” since global interdependence demanded participation of all countries in this reform.
These positions set the context for Mr. Arthur’s Rotary address next month in Georgetown.
