Therefore, as we strive to address the new global challenges and seek to identify sustainable avenues and mechanisms through which to promote Jamaica’s interests, I challenge you, our stakeholders, to also explore the ways in which you and your companies can make a lasting contribution to Jamaica becoming a leading force in the transformation of global trade.” Sen.
