Ambassador Curtis Ward.
As 2021 dawns, Jamaicans in the diaspora are looking forward with renewed hope and expectations, with a reset to several issues brought to the fore during the pandemic and a change of administration in the United States.
Curtis Ward, Jamaica’s former ambassador to the United Nations, hopes that the Government will find a way to pivot from its support for the Donald Trump regime to take advantage of an expected better relationship with the incoming Joe Biden administration, which takes office in less than three weeks.
“My hope is that Jamaica will be an active part of a unified CARICOM that will speak with one voice to be able to work with the Biden-Harris administration to take advantage of several initiatives that will be expanded,” he said, referencing the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative and the Caribbean Basic Energy Security Initiative.
