Dr. Brown noted the importance of multilateralism as well as the threats to multilateralism. She also underscored the importance of Jamaica’s engagement in the multilateral system, stating that often times this importance is not appreciated by the public.
The hybrid lecture was hosted by the Foreign Ministry, and was attended by members of the Diplomatic Corps as well as staff. This lecture is the second in the series and forms part of the Ministry’s celebratory activities for MFAFT @ 60.
