KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaica recently sent a delegation to Cuba on an exploratory/preparatory visit with that country’s Ministry of the Interior as part of the government’s effort to increase collaboration and cooperation in the fight against the illicit drug trade and other forms of transnational organized crime.
The Jamaica delegation was headed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of National Security, Mrs. Dianne McIntosh.
