Chinese Ambassador to Jamaica, Chen Daojiang, has said his country is taking steps to further strengthen its relations with Jamaica.
In outlining some of the plans to strengthen ties between both countries, Chen said the embassy will carefully select community-level local entities that are friendly to China and focused on Jamaican people’s livelihood, and award them the honorary title of “Family of China-Jamaica Friendship”.
They are also to select Jamaican individuals “who have made outstanding contributions to promoting China-Jamaica friendship, and award them the ‘Award of China-Jamaica Friendship’.”
Chen said as China continues to simplify its visa application process, Jamaican will be granted temporary exemption for qualified applicants from fingerprint collection, and offered a 25 per cent discount on visa application fees.
