KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The Jamaica government has reiterated its commitment to the regional integration movement, CARICOM, and dismissed calls for the island to quit the 15-member grouping. Foreign Affairs Minister, AJ Nicholson in a statement in the Upper House on Wednesday addressed comments from former Prime Minister Andrew Holness and opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) legislator Dr. Christopher Tufton that the country could benefit from a “temporary pull out of CARICOM”. While Nicholson acknowledged that Jamaica may not be benefiting from CARICOM in the way it should, he said a withdrawal would affect benefits under the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) that allows for the free movement of goods, skills, services and labour across the community.
