of promoting consultation, cooperation, and concerted action among all the
countries of the Caribbean. It was established by a convention on 24 July 1994
in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. It comprises twenty-five member states and
four associate members. The secretariat of the organisation is located in Port
of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
The objectives of the ACS are the
strengthening of the regional co-operation and integration process, with a view
to creating an enhanced economic space in the region; preserving the
environmental integrity of the Caribbean Sea which is regarded as the common
patrimony of the peoples of the region; and promoting the sustainable
development of the Greater Caribbean.
