Press Releases: Jamaica Independence Day

On behalf of the United States, congratulations to the Jamaican people on the 55th anniversary of your independence on August 6.

Jamaica plays an important role as a regional leader, most recently with its efforts on economic reform. We look forward to strengthened collaboration between our countries on security, prosperity, diplomacy, energy, education, and health – as underscored in the United States-Caribbean Strategic Engagement Act.

We deeply appreciate our relationship and congratulate all Jamaicans on the occasion of your Independence Day.
