The recently held Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, provided an opportunity for important bilateral talks between Jamaica and several other countries.
Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) with Responsibility for Information Robert Morgan, said that Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator Kamina Johnson Smith, were able to have discussions with countries “that Jamaica has not had bilateral engagements with for a long time.”
“We were able to reconnect with countries and further discussions on important matters that are to the benefit of the country,” he noted.
He indicated, for example, that the Ministry of Tourism was able to have discussions about the exchange of tourism plans and ideas with the Rwandan government, and that there should be an announcement soon “about significant collaborations between the Rwandans and the Jamaicans.”
The Minister was responding to questions raised by Member of Parliament for St. Andrew Southeast, Julian Robinson, during the sitting of the House of Representatives on September 13.
