Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness on Tuesday acknowledged the bilateral relations it shares with India, saying that Jamaica has a lot to learn from the country.
Holness, who is on his first trip to India, said, “As India positions itself as the knowledge capital of the world, we recognize the remarkable strides made by your government in STEM education and digitalization. We, therefore, look forward to learning from India as a beacon of technological advancement and in the global south as the government of Jamaica seeks to equip itself and its people with the relevant skills to navigate this changing and dynamic world.”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India has been a “trusted partner” in Jamaica’s development journey and that it is ready to share expertise in a range of areas, including digital public infrastructure, biofuel, innovation and health with the Caribbean nation.
The two countries are expected to sign several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) in the next four days.
Holness will also visit Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday.
