Attention on deck! Diplomatic ties between the United Kingdom and Jamaica were further strengthened as the British High Commission to Jamaica, welcomed the patrol vessel HMS Medway to Kingston at a ceremonial reception on-board the ship on Monday, February 3. The ship, which docked the day before, participated in a week-long collaborative effort with the Jamaica Defence Force as well as engaged the community with school tours of the ship. The visit was part of the UK and Jamaica’s efforts to address matters of security, trade and environmental conservation.
