THE Jamaica Chapter of the London School of Economics (LSE) Alumni Association in partnership with NCB Capital Markets Limited, recently convened a high-level leadership conversation at Danya’s Coffee Barrel in Kingston to celebrate the school’s 130th anniversary.

British High Commissioner to Jamaica Alicia Herbert and Canadian High Commissioner Mark Berman both reflected on how LSE shaped their global careers and engaged fellow alumni on the enduring diplomatic relations with Jamaica and their visions for the future.

“Jamaica is already going in the right direction. I think the Government already has plans for a modernised and more technology-based agricultural sector. I think that post-Melissa, with the development of NaRRA [National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority] and the investments, there really is an opportunity… to build better and stronger. So, as we look at that, I think there’s an opportunity for Canada to play a role. It’s not just public money, it’s private [sector] money as well,” said Berman.
