Chairman of Jamaica’s Economic Growth Council (EGC), Michael Lee-Chin, says that council members will be returning to Israel within two months, to continue discussions on economic cooperation.

Lee-Chin, who was a member of the team accompanying Prime Minister Andrew Holness to Israel in mid-January, made the announcement Thursday evening as he answered questions during a function facilitating the council’s first quarterly report to the nation at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, New Kingston.

“It was a very fertile visit, because it will catalyse a second visit which will happen within the next two months,” he told the meeting.

“We intend to have a meeting with the top 50 Israeli companies and tell them about the great things which are happening in Jamaica, and bring them to Jamaica,” he stated.
