Holiday message from ACS Secretary General Rodolfo Sabonge
Dear Esteemed Members of the ACS Family,
As the year draws to a close and we embrace the season of togetherness and gratitude, it is with profound emotion and pride that I extend my warmest holiday greetings to you all.
Serving as Secretary General of the Association of Caribbean States has been one of the greatest honours of my life. Reflecting on this journey, I am deeply moved by the resilience, creativity, and shared determination that define our region. The Greater Caribbean, a mosaic of vibrant cultures and rich traditions, continues to demonstrate the strength of unity in diversity.
This festive season is a time to celebrate our achievements and cherish the bonds we have nurtured. Together, we have confronted challenges, seized opportunities, and furthered the mission of the ACS, striving to enhance cooperation and connectivity across our region.
As I prepare to pass the baton, I am filled with optimism for the future of this extraordinary organisation. The road ahead is brimming with potential to strengthen our shared commitment to sustainable development, resilience-building, and fostering prosperity for all our people.
May this holiday season bring you peace, happiness, and cherished moments with loved ones. Let us carry the spirit of unity and hope into the New Year, embracing the possibilities it holds for our beautiful region.
On behalf of the ACS Secretariat, I wish you all a joyful Christmas and a New Year filled with health, success, and boundless opportunities.
