\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Prime Minister, the choice to commemorate Jamaica\u2019s Diamond Jubilee under the theme, \u201cReigniting a Nation for Greatness\u201d is fitting, given Jamaica\u2019s outstanding record of achievements both internationally and within the Region. Jamaica\u2019s excellence in the arts and culture, sports, music, diplomacy and other endeavours has been an outstanding example for the Region.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Jamaicans at home and abroad continue to redefine the reputation of the country through their active contribution and impact in various fields.<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Community has benefitted from Jamaica\u2019s leadership, particularly in its responsibility for External Trade Negotiations in the CARICOM Quasi-Cabinet. Internationally the country has led the important multilateral discourse on financing for development in the era of\u00a0\u00a0 COVID-19.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Community takes great pleasure in celebrating this significant milestone in the country\u2019s history with the Government and people of Jamaica, and extends its support and best wishes for the future achievements, prosperity and progress of Jamaica.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>
