Jamaica APPG

First Registered: 16/03/2016 • Last updated on: 20/11/2024

The purpose of the APPG is to encourage positive relations between Jamaica and the UK. It aims to promote dialogue on shared interests, enhance trade, cultural ties, and cooperation, while addressing key issues affecting the Jamaican diaspora and advocating for mutual prosperity and development.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
