Jamaica and Ghana’s deepening relations is entering a new phase with the African nation extending an invitation to the people of Jamaica to its recently launched ‘Beyond the Return’ initiative, which is a sequel to the ‘Year of Return’ initiative.

Jamaicans have been invited to attend the planned activities and connect with their brethren in Ghana. The invitation was extended to Jamaica during a recent courtesy call made by Jamaica’s Ambassador and Special Envoy to Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, and South Africa, H.E. Marjorie Grant Fuller on Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey.

LONGSTANDING, CORDIAL RELATIONS

The Jamaican ambassador expressed her country’s readiness to revamp the already existing good relations between Jamaica and Ghana, particularly, in areas of mutual interest such as Trade and Investments, Bilateral Air Service, Maritime, Culture, and other potential areas of future cooperation.

For her part, Botchwey lauded the longstanding, cordial relations that exist between the two countries and welcomed Jamaica’s interest in the aforementioned areas of possible cooperation. She encouraged Jamaican investors and businesses to explore opportunities under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in furtherance of mutual economic cooperation.

Ambassador Grant Fuller was accompanied by Honorary Consul of Jamaica to Ghana, Isaac Emil Osei-Bonsu and other officials from the Consulate of Jamaica in Ghana.
