The Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has taken note of developments in the ongoing process to select the next Secretary-General of the United Nations. The position was discussed at the Conference's 44th Intersessional Meeting, held on 23 October 2026.
The Secretary-General is the chief administrative officer of the United Nations and one of the most senior international posts in the world. The selection of a new holder of the office is a matter of interest across the wider Caribbean, where the Community's member states, including the Commonwealth of Dominica, have a stake in how the global body is led.
The source material available to this newsroom records only that the Heads of Government noted the progress of the selection process at their meeting. It does not set out the specific developments discussed, the names of any candidates, or the position CARICOM has adopted, and Dominica 1 has not been able to verify those details from the supplied reporting.
Dominicans wishing to follow the matter can refer to official United Nations channels and to CARICOM's published communiqués from its Intersessional and Heads of Government meetings, which typically carry the Community's formal positions. Dominica 1 will report further as verified information becomes available.
