REMEMBER
The story didn’t begin here—and it didn’t end there.
Identity, history, reconnection.
Bermuda’s connection to the Caribbean is not new. It is rooted in shared history, culture, family ties, and institutions shaped by the same Atlantic journey and colonial past.
Bermuda joined CARICOM as an Associate Member in 2003. Today’s conversation recognises bonds that have always existed—and asks how they should be honoured going forward.
“This is not about becoming something new. It is about remembering what has always been true.”
