President Ram Nath Kovind has arrived in Jamaica for a state visit, the first by any Indian President to the Caribbean country, during which he will hold talks with his counterpart Governor-General Patrick Allen and Prime Minister Andrew Holness on the entire gamut of the multi-faceted relationship between the two countries.
President Kovind accompanied by his wife Savita Kovind arrived at Kingston on Sunday on the first leg of his two-nation tour that will also take him to St. Vincent and Grenadines. "Sir Patrick Allen, Governor-General of Jamaica and PM Andrew Holness received President Kovind at the airport," the President's Office tweeted.
"The Presidential visit is happening in the 60th anniversary year of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The President was accorded a guard of honour on his arrival," it said. Prime Minister Holness said he was deeply pleased to extend a warm Jamaican welcome to Mr. Kovind and his wife.
