PM WANTS JAMAICA'S NEW   AMBASSADOR TO U.S TO LOOK FOR MORE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES:

New areas for investments between Jamaica and the US, will be one of the major assignments for Ambassador-designate to the USA, Audrey Marks.

Prime Minister Bruce Golding has mandated Jamaica's Ambassador-designate Ms. Audrey Marks to identify ways of improving the network with both the Jamaican and US business entities across the US. He has also urged her to encourage Jamaicans in the US to assert their political power by becoming more involved in what is taking place around them and to make their votes count.

‘This is something I have been encouraging Jamaicans to do, in much the same way that Jamaicans in the UK have done', Mr. Golding said. He said Jamaicans in the US could have greater influence if they became more involved in what is taking place around them.

Ambassador-designate Marks paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Bruce Golding at Jamaica House yesterday (April 22) during which several priority areas  of co-operation between both countries were discussed.

Mr. Golding said far more needs to be done to encourage investments between Jamaica and the US because that country is still the place to look for the bulk of investments.  Ambassador-designate Marks is expected to leave to take up her assignment early next month.
