The presentation concluded the courtesy call that the delegation made to the president and speaker at Gordon House on Monday.
A six-member delegation from the Parliament of the United Kingdom (UK) is currently on a working visit to the Jamaican Parliament.
The visit, from November 6 to 10, is designed to strengthen bilateral ties and foster meaningful discussions, commenced with a courtesy call on the President of the Senate Thomas Tavares-Finson and the Speaker of the House Juliet Holness at Gordon House on Monday.
During this visit, the delegation is set to engage with various government and private-sector officials to address an array of crucial topics.
These include enhancing UK/Jamaica relations, discussions on constitutional reform, addressing Windrush-related issues, and reparations, exploring the profound impact of Jamaican culture in the UK, addressing youth violence in schools, and parliamentary processes, and promoting trade and investment between the two nations.
This visit is an integral part of the customary parliamentary exchange program, which affords both the UK and Jamaican parliaments the opportunity to showcase their respective parliamentary endeavours and engage in constructive dialogue on matters of mutual significance.
In February 2022, an eight-member delegation from the Jamaican Parliament had a working visit to the United Kingdom Parliament, which underscores the legislative bodies’ commitment to strengthening ties and fostering fruitful partnerships between the two nations.
