It was a pleasure to join the young people of St. Catherine at the closing and awards ceremony of the INSPORTS Summer Youth Camp 2026, held at Eltham High School.

This camp was about more than sport. It gave our young people a space to learn new skills, build friendships, express themselves through culture, and spend the summer engaged in positive and constructive activities.

From netball, football, cricket and basketball to dance, I encouraged the participants to cherish the friendships they made, use the skills they gained, and continue pursuing the activities they enjoy.

Keep learning, keep playing, keep creating and most importantly, keep believing in yourselves!

Last evening in Ocho Rios, I welcomed parliamentarians from across the Caribbean, the Americas and the Atlantic Region to the 48th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Conference.

The challenge is clear: How do we empower our parliaments in the digital era?

Technology must empower, not harm, our people. That is why my Ministry, through the Bureau of Gender Affairs, is developing JamSafe, a gender-neutral app allowing persons in distress to access GBV hotlines and parish services at the press of a button, even offline and without data.

I thank Ambassador Dushyant Savadia and the Amber Group for funding this J$80 million platform. Not a dollar from taxpayers. This is what corporate consciousness looks like.

Let the digital age be something we shape, not something that shapes us.

The resilience of a nation is measured by how well it protects its most vulnerable.

I am pleased to welcome a new chapter in Jamaica’s cultural cooperation with the Americas through a Memorandum of Understanding between the Institute of Jamaica, executed through the National Gallery of Jamaica , and the OAS.

This partnership will create opportunities for regional exhibitions, artist exchanges, residencies, professional training, creative education and youth engagement.

For me, this is cultural diplomacy in a meaningful and practical form, strengthening our cultural resilience while giving Jamaican artists and creatives greater opportunities to connect with the wider hemisphere.

Our young people are not only beneficiaries of our cultural inheritance; they are its future creators, custodians and leaders.

I look forward to seeing this agreement translated into meaningful programmes and opportunities that strengthen Jamaica’s place in the cultural community of the Americas.

Honoured to welcome our friends from Tottori, Japan, for the signing of the 2027 World Athletics Championship Training Camp Agreement between the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) and Tottori Prefecture.

Since 2007, this partnership has grown into a lasting friendship built on sport, cultural exchange, mutual respect and a shared commitment to excellence.

As we look ahead to 2027, we reaffirm our commitment to strengthening Jamaica–Tottori relations and giving our athletes every opportunity to prepare, perform and excel on the world stage.

Here’s to many more years of friendship, partnership and sporting success!
