President David Granger and First Lady, Sandra Granger last evening attended a reception in commemoration of the 205th anniversary of the independence of Mexico at the Marriott Hotel in Kingston.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the President lauded Mexico’s support for the region through the CARICOM-Mexico cooperation programme at the function.
“Mexico’s geopolitical role will be fundamental to addressing the many challenges faced by the Caribbean Region, especially in the area of food security, climate change and transnational organised crime. We wish, therefore, to urge Mexico to use its influence in the hemisphere and on the international stage to reject the use, or threat of the use of force between states, to promote development and to preserve the Caribbean as a zone of peace,” President Granger said.
