The Caricom-Canada summit was launched on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, in Ottawa, Canada. For three days, from October 17 to 19, leaders of Caribbean states gather alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address issues in the sub-region of the Americas. The deployment of the Multinational Mission to Support Security in Haiti will be at the core of this summit.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau co-chairs this summit from October 17 to 19, 2023, with the Prime Minister of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, the current President of CARICOM. While this inaugural meeting will allow Canada to strengthen its relationships and collaborations with Caribbean countries, the focus will primarily be on the situation in Haiti.
