HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT:
The High-Level Segment was also one of
the major accomplishments of the Conference. Aside from Fidel
Castro, his ubiquitous security and his paparazzi, the Conference
also brought together a significant number of Heads of State and
Government, ministers and decision makers from small islands, other
developing countries and the developed world. Although there were
complaints about the level of participation from the donor
countries (see below), both the debate and the roundtable
discussion proved to be useful fora for sharing experiences and
communicating concerns among islands, between islands and regions
as well as between donors and recipients.
