China–Jamaica relations explained
Diplomatic relations between China and Jamaica were established on 21 November 1972.[1] The Chinese government established an embassy in Kingston in 1973.[1] There was no formal representation from Jamaica to China until 1992, when the Jamaican ambassador to Tokyo, Japan was accredited as a non-resident ambassador to Beijing.[1] Jamaica later established a formal embassy in Beijing, and the current ambassador is Courtenay Rattray.[2] The current Chinese ambassador to Jamaica is Chen Jinghua.[3] [4] In 2007, China announced it would provide technical training for more than 2,000 Jamaicans in 2008.[5] A growing number of Jamaican products have been promoted through the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and gained interest in the Chinese market.[6]
In 2014 China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) opened the 67 kilometre Jamaica North South Highway.[7] [8]
In 2021, Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced furtherance of a technology partnership with Huawei which had increased its investment in the Jamaican economy.[9]
