New Delhi, May 17

President Ram Nath Kovind met Jamaican PM Andrew Holness and discussed enhancing bilateral cooperation in trade and investment, service, health, railway and transport services and sports with the Caribbean island nation, said the President’s Office here.

Kovind, accompanied by his wife Savita Kovind, arrived here on Sunday, the first by an Indian President to Jamaica.

“India is on a transformational path and its quest for self-reliance does not mean isolation, but creating capabilities that can help the entire humanity,” he said

The two countries also signed an MoU to facilitate academic and training exchange for foreign service officers of Jamaica in India. He inaugurated Dr Ambedkar Avenue in downtown Kingston in the honour of Dr BR Ambedkar.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
