In addition to discussions with PM Modi, Holness will also meet President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, and other senior officials and business leaders. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), while announcing the visit, stated, “This visit is expected to bolster bilateral relations, enhance economic cooperation, and solidify the longstanding bonds between Jamaica and India.”
This visit offers Holness a chance to connect with various dignitaries and engage with leaders in trade and industry. Several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) are expected to be signed, aimed at strengthening cooperation between Jamaica and India. The two countries share a strong bond, rooted in cultural and historical ties, including a shared colonial past, commitment to democratic values, and a mutual love for cricket.
This visit is anticipated to enhance diplomatic relations and promote economic collaboration between the nations. Earlier, on June 5, Prime Minister Holness congratulated PM Modi for winning the Lok Sabha elections for the third consecutive term.
“Congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he prepares to embark on a historic third term as India’s head of government,” Holness said in a post on X.
In response, PM Modi thanked his Jamaican counterpart, saying, “Thank you, Prime Minister Andrew Holness. India-Jamaica relations are marked by centuries-old people-to-people ties. I look forward to working together with you for the welfare of our people.”
