MINISTER OF Industry, Investment and Commerce, Senator Aubyn Hill, says a recent “mission” to several major business hubs in the United States (US) and Canada, exploring investment opportunities for the island, was largely successful. The tour, which included stops in Toronto, NewYork andWashington DC, and dubbed ‘Export and Investment Business Mission’, was done in coordination with Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), the trade and investment agency of the ministry, according to Hill. The delegation, he said, also included leading public and private-sector stakeholders, Jamaica’s Ambassador to the United States, Audrey Marks, as well as top level US officials. Represented also were members of the diaspora, including Professor Donald Harris, father of the current Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris. “A key highlight of our itinerary was to visit Goudas Food, a leading establishment headquartered in Ontario, Canada, and renowned for the distribution of quality products in North America, and where I met with two of the senior directors. This was a ministerial mission to explore export and investment opportunities between Canada and the United States, and everybody was excited at the prospects, ”Minister Hill told JIS News. Hill said the mission also included a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Invest, James P. Scriven, which he described“as very fruitful”. Scriven is responsible for the private-sector institution of the IDB Group, with a portfolio of $13.1 billion in assets under management and 385 clients in 25 countries. STRATEGIC, FOCUSED EFFORT IDB Invest is a multilateral development bank that focuses on providing innovative financial solutions and advisory services for its clients, while achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in Latin America and the Caribbean. The IDB has been a reliable partner of Jamaica for decades, whichmight have prompted its top Caribbean executive, Tariq Ali, to declare recently that the bank is “championing the growth of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to drive the sustained economic growth of Jamaica”. “The Government of Jamaica is fully aware that supporting the MSMEs is crucial given the important role they play in creating jobs, strengthening communities, and increasing contribution to macroeconomic growth and sustainable development,” Hill said. “This strategic and focused effort at engaging with and strengthening the MSME sector through this MIC/IDB MSME Business Roadshow is critical to the country’s long-term economic growth. It comes against the background of the ministry’s development and ongoingmonitoring of the MSMEs and Entrepreneurship Policy and our recognition that many players within the sector face major challenges in their daily operations, thus impacting their profitability and sustainability,” he added. For his part, Senior Adviser and Strategist in the Ministry of Tourism and JAMPRO Board member, Delano Seiveright, who was also a part of the delegation, told JIS News that the trip reaffirmed “what has been widely known” that brand Jamaica remains a force and“with a climate that is investor friendly”. Mission success! - Industry minister touts prospects of recent visit to business hubs Senator Aubyn Hill, Minister of Industry, Investments and Commerce. IAN ALLEN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND: Maryland Governor Wes Moore has welcomed the opportunity to enter into greater business and educational partnerships with Jamaica. Speaking during a courtesy call paid on him by Minister of Industry Investment and Commerce Senator Aubyn Hill and Jamaica’s Ambassador to the United States Audrey Marks, last Friday, Governor Moore said he was excited and proud about the potential partnership between Maryland and Jamaica. “I am ready to take it to new heights. I want for us to be true partners in every sense of the word, in education and business partnership. We have a very strong and proud Jamaica diaspora population here in the state of Maryland,” he said. Governor Moore said he was not just the first black governor of the state of Maryland, but rather “someone who proudly comes from Jamaican roots. “This is a moment right here that we can do special things together,” he declared. Moore, whose mother hails from Westmoreland, pointed to some of the areas in which Jamaica and the state of Maryland could forge partnerships. “I think about some of the great assets of Maryland ..., including a very strong cyber platform. We are strong in terms of tourism and trade and with the utilisation of the ports in Baltimore - which are the largest in the United States - I think that we are able to be in partnership with Jamaica,”Moore said. “We know that there are very strong economic bonds between Maryland and Jamaica and these are things we plan to work very hard on, with the leadership of Ambassador Marks to be able to make sure those bonds are strengthened and built out,”he added. Elaborating on the visit, Minister Hill noted, “We explored the possibility of student exchanges, cooperation between universities and to have the city of Kingston twinned with the city of Baltimore. We also looked at developing Jamaica into a cybersecurity producer of experts, and producer of Jamaican young men who can take Jamaica to a much higher level in the digital service business by focusing on cybersecurity service.” “Governor Moore was very clear that he would be committed to help Jamaica to build this area of our service industry and to make sure that the intellectual exchange and business would be beneficial to both Jamaica and the state of Maryland. The industry, commerce and investment minister along with Ambassador Marks paid a courtesy call on the Maryland governor at the Maryland state house in Annapolis on Friday, June 30. Also present at the meeting with the governor were Secretary of State for Maryland Susan Lee, and Secretary of Commerce for Maryland Kevin Anderson. ‘We can do special things together’ Maryland’s Governor Wes Moore greets Industry Commerce and Investment Minister Senator Aubyn Hill as he arrives at the Maryland State House to pay a courtesy call on the Governor.
