"It is an incredible honour to be in New Delhi today for the official opening of Jamaica Marg (Jamaica Road), a historic occasion that stands as a testament to the enduring friendship between Jamaica and India. I extend my deepest gratitude to the Government of India, particularly the Ministry of External Affairs and the Municipal Council of New Delhi, for this significant and symbolic gesture."

"This moment is made even more significant as we reflect on the recent naming of a road in Kingston in honour of Dr. Ambedkar, one of India’s Constitutional Fathers, during the visit of former President Sri Ram Nath Kovind to Jamaica. As we celebrate this occasion, I look forward to deepening our bilateral ties and exploring new avenues for cooperation that will benefit both our peoples," he posted on X.
