State Foreign Affairs Minister Alando Terrelonge will join Jamaican Ambassador to the United States, Audrey Marks, in a conversation on diaspora affairs at her monthly online town hall meeting.

The upcoming edition of ‘Let’s Connect with Ambassador Marks‘, will be held on January 25, at 7:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) and persons wishing to participate can access the meeting on Zoom.

Minister Terrelonge will use the opportunity to engage with the Jamaican Diaspora and to discuss with them aspects of the government’s policy on the diaspora as well as to answer any concerns.

The minister will also use the forum to update members of the diaspora on plans for the bi-annual conference which will be held in June in the capital Kingston.

Ambassador Marks shared that she will also be joined by Nexus Luxury Collection CEO Christopher Anand ,who will give an update on the US-billion-dollar Harmony Cove development in Trelawny which is expected to break ground this year.

When completed this development will be the biggest investment in Jamaica’s tourism industry.

It will include several luxury hotels, world-class golf courses, a luxury spa, marina facilities, commercial development, and private residences.

The venture is being jointly executed by Nexus Luxury Collection and the Government of Jamaica.

Marks’ Let’s Connect series enables members of the Diaspora to communicate in an interactive manner directly with the ambassador and her guests, about matters of interest to them and to be updated on the Government’s policies and programmes, as well as the Jamaican Embassy’s activities.

The forum will be streamed live on Ambassador Marks’ social media platforms.
