Ties between the World Bank and Jamaica remained strong and robust, stressed World Bank Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean Region Pamela Cox. “Meeting with the people and listening to them about how Bank-supported projects are helping to change their lives is rewarding and help us to continue our mission,” said the World Bank representative. “We look forward to continue supporting Jamaica in its quest to achieve higher levels of development,” she added. “I am very pleased with the visit of Pamela Cox and her team. Through discussions with the Prime Minister, the Government of Jamaica expressed the priority areas in which it would seek assistance from the World Bank,” said Jamaican finance minister Audley Shaw.
