Ambassador Marks noted that arising from the high level of interest in Jamaica’s current security initiatives from members of the diaspora which arose at the inaugural “Let’s Connect With Ambassador Marks“ series on March 4, she took the opportunity to invite Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, Hon Dr. Horace Chang to share with participants at the next session. Dr. Chang is expected to outline the measures that have been put in place to manage crime and to give a broad outline of the government’s policy on national security.

“Let’s Connect’ With Ambassador Marks” offers members of the diaspora the opportunity to speak directly with the ambassador about issues that are of interest to them, as well as to be updated on the government’s policies and programmes as well as the Embassy’s promotional activities.

From time to time, the Ambassador will be joined by various guests including ministers of government as well as key members of the diaspora, US government and key players in various agencies.

Persons who wish to participate can log on to the Jamaica Connect website www.jamaicaconnect.org to register as a participant.

The chat series, which will take the form of a monthly Zoom town hall, will be hour-long and accessible to the public.
