CARIBBEAN: Latest summit does little to challenge critics
Little emerged from the Caribbean Community (Caricom) 28th summit, held in Barbados on 1-4 July.

Analysts from across the region gloomily surmised that the region's grand projects, such as the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME), were likely to flounder unless future summits achieve more.
