Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness touched down on local soil last evening ahead of his four-day official visit for Trinidad and Tobago’s 60th Independence Day celebrations.
He arrived at the Piarco International Airport at 7.40 pm, was greeted by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and received a ceremonial welcome.
According to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs, Holness is expected to attend a news conference at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann’s at midday today.
He is also due to attend the National Independence Gala Concert at the National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA) in Port-of-Spain as a special guest tomorrow night.
The Jamaican Prime Minister is then expected to attend Independence Day celebrations on Wednesday, which include the annual military parade at the Queen’s Park Savannah and the President’s Toast to the Nation ceremony at NAPA, which follows the parade festivities.
The release did not reveal whether Holness will also attend the cultural show and fireworks display at the Queen’s Park Savannah on Wednesday evening.
Holness will return to Jamaica on Thursday morning.
