Message from Consul General Oliver Mair on Jamaica’s 63rd Anniversary of Independence

On behalf of the Consulate General of Jamaica, Miami, I extend greetings to my Diaspora family as we give thanks and celebrate another year – our 63rd Anniversary of Independence as a sovereign nation. “In everything we give thanks for this is the will of the Lord…”. As a nation, we are grateful for the many achievements and strides Jamaica has made, despite the many global challenges. We remain resilient and united as we continue to work together for the good of our nationals across the Diaspora and just as importantly, for the benefit of our homeland, Jamaica, land we love. As our theme this year exemplifies, we continue to “BE PROUD, BE BOLD. IN THE BLACK GREEN AND GOLD”.
