Diaspora Conference

2014 Birmingham

Ministers, executive agencies to address JDUK Conference Shaun Cain Gleaner Writer LONDON: INISTER OF National Security, Peter Bunting, is among a strong contingent of government officials and executive agencies from Jamaica heading to the United Kingdom (UK) for the the 4th Biennial Jamaica Diaspora UK (JDUK) National Conference scheduled for June 13 - 15.

Under the theme, ‘Our Heritage, Our Legacy, working together to build a sustainable Diaspora Movement’, the conference, which coincides with the organisation’s 10th anniversary, will take place at a new venue this year, the Centennial Centre, Icknield Port Road, in Birmingham.

The conference will close with a church service on Sunday, June 15 at the New Testament Church of God, Lozells, Birmingham.

The National Security Minister will be accompanied

by Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Arnaldo Brown. They will also be joined by Jamaican High Commissioner to the UK, Her Excellency Aloun Ndombet Assamba.

Chair of the JDUK, SashaMonique Henry-Crawford has told the Weekly Gleaner that minister Bunting’s focus will be on crime and national security in Jamaica.

He is expected to update the gathering on the government’s efforts to this social problem. In the meantime, State Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Arnaldo Brown will concentrate on the future of the Diaspora movement.

According to the JDUK chair, Jamaicans here in the UK, who are looking to visit on holiday or even return to live permanently, view these issues as being very relevant to them. Therefore, she feels these presentations will answer a lot of questions for them.

The JDUK Chair is therefore urging persons in the Diaspora to share in this important event so they can

Participate in discussions on 12 topics of concern raised by the community. The conference topics emerged from the grass roots in the community from a three-month long canvass. This preliminary community engagement exercise took place four months before the conference, so topics are current and relevant to the communities both in the UK and Jamaica,” she said.

member in attendance can register their interest in formally joining the JDUK.” Meanwhile, the JDUK Chair has revealed that in addition to the government ministers, six executive agencies will be travelling to Birmingham from Jamaica to be of service to members of the community. They include Jamaica Customs Agency, Passport Immigration & Citizenship Agency, National Education Trust, National Land Agency, Registrar General’s Department, the Land Administration and Management Programme and the Department of Consular and Diaspora Affairs.

Ms Henry-Crawford has indicated that these agencies will be providing advice and guidance to persons that want to obtain key Government of Jamaica documentation. She has announced that these agencies will illustrate the procedures in applying for passports and obtaining land titles as well as registration documents. They will also be providing the UK Diaspora with general updates on their operations.

The agencies will also be helping community members to fill out forms to begin the process of obtaining these documents. Following the conference, these agencies will also provide outreach services in other major UK cities. They will be in Manchester on June 16 which is being observed as Jamaican Diaspora Day. The agencies’ representatives will then take their services

About the Jamaican Diaspora UK

Looking forward to a successful outcome THE JAMAICAN High Commission is pleased to endorse the fourth biennial Jamaica Diaspora UK (JDUK) National Conference.

We see this conference as an important vehicle to bring together hundreds of Jamaicans and supporters of Jamaica from across the United Kingdom to facilitate serious discussion, exchange of ideas and solutions to some issues and challenges that affect Jamaicans here in the UK as well as in Jamaica.

The Government of Jamaica attaches tremendous importance to the conference, which is being held this year under the theme, ‘Our Heritage, Our Legacy.’

This importance is evidenced by the fact that Ministers as well as representatives from a range of Government Agencies and Departments will be attending and participating in the Conference.

All Jamaicans, whether living in Jamaica or outside of Jamaica, should bring their

File Aloun Assamba collective weight to bear on issues that impact Jamaica and its Diaspora. The recently announced changes to the Air Passenger Duty for Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean, while not a complete victory, is an example of what this kind of collaboration can achieve.

For this reason, the High Commission commends the organisers and supporters of the JDUK conference and looks forward to positive deliberations and a successful outcome.

His daughter Donna Joseph, Marketing and Sales Director, also reflects on her father’s vision.
