WASHINGTON, DC – Jamaican Embassy In Washington DC Independence Message from His Excellency The Most Honourable Sir Patrick Allen ON, GCMG, CD, KSt.J Governor-Common:
My fellow Jamaicans and esteemed associates of Jamaica within the Diaspora, it’s with nice honour and privilege that I prolong heartfelt greetings to you as we mark the 62nd anniversary of our independence. This event is a joyous celebration of our nation’s sovereignty and resilience.
All through the years, Jamaica has stood as a beacon of achievement and important contributions on the worldwide stage. From our infectious music and dominant sports activities figures to our pioneering developments in science and know-how, we, as Jamaicans, proceed to be impressed and excel. Our wealthy and various tradition really embodies our nationwide motto: “Out of Many, One Folks.”
This yr, as we mirror on our shared heritage and the values that unite us, we embrace the theme “Jamaica 62: One love to the World.” This theme captures our collective imaginative and prescient and aspirations for the longer term—to characterize Jamaica globally as a affluent, form, inclusive, and sustainable nation.
We owe immense gratitude to the visionaries who laid the inspiration of our independence and to every Jamaican who each day upholds and builds upon the legacy of our forebears. Allow us to persist in our endeavours to forge a Jamaica that epitomises peace, development, and prosperity—a becoming tribute to the sacrifices of those that got here earlier than us.
Blissful Independence Day, Jamaica! Allow us to proceed to shine brightly and stand tall on the world stage. God bless you and God bless Jamaica land we love!
