As Jamaica and Japan move to strengthen their bilateral relations, the Japan Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi met with members of the Jamaican government on Tuesday, July 20.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator Kamina Johnson Smith, says Motegi’s visit is timely as there is a great need for global partnership.
Minister Johnson Smith says the dynamic bilateral relations between Japan and Jamaica is especially expanding in areas of technical and economic cooperation.

Senator Johnson Smith says Jamaica is pleased with Japan’s commitments to tackle the climate crisis.
