Mexico's President Felipe Calderon told the Group of Rio Summit that a new body to represent both the Group of Rio and the Caribbean Committee had been formed on Tuesday in Playa del Carmen, a resort town on Mexico's Caribbean coast.
"We have reached a consensus but we have not decided on a name, " Calderon told presidents assembled for the second day of the Summit, which included heads of state from both the 24-nation Group of Rio and the 15-member Caribbean Community (Caricom).

"We have decided to base an organization on shared values including sovereignty and the non-use of force, including threats of force, international cooperation ever closer integration of Latin America and the Caribbean and permanent political dialogue," he added.
