The staff of the Embassy of Jamaica in Washington, D.C., gathered to bid farewell to Ambassador Major General (Ret’d) Antony Anderson and celebrate a tenure marked by leadership, mentorship, and service.

Though his posting was brief, Ambassador Anderson made a lasting impact through his engagement with the Jamaican diaspora, interaction with bilateral partners, and steadfast representation of Jamaica’s interests.

We thank Ambassador Anderson for his service and wish him every success as he steps into the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA).

The Embassy of Jamaica was pleased to welcome members of the diplomatic corps, representatives of the Jamaican diaspora community, and officials from the Government of the District of Columbia who visited to sign the Condolence Book in memory of the late Hon. Leslie Roy Campbell.

The former Senator and Minister of State served Jamaica with distinction from 2020 to 2022, where he focused on strengthening the bonds between Jamaica and its global community.

We are grateful to all who paused to pay tribute, share their condolences, and celebrate a life of service, leadership, and commitment to the Jamaican people.
