Minister Vaz told the Assembly: "There is also unequivocal recognition and consensus in our Government, that the IMO is the competent body with the technical responsibility for maritime safety and security, environmentally sound, efficient, and sustainable shipping."
He highlighted the importance to Jamaica, of programmes which help Developing Countries, Least Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, such as the IMO's Integrated Technical Cooperation Programmes strategically linked to the Sustainable Development Goals which assist with capacity development to effectively implement international maritime instruments.

The country's Prime Minister is a member of the High-Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy which has pledged to bring a holistic approach to ocean management, balancing the development of the ocean with the needed environmental preservation.
