In a significant diplomatic engagement, the Honorable Mayor of Zanzibar City, Hon. Mahmoud M. Mussa, welcomed the Ambassador of Jamaica to his office at Michenzani Mall on August 14, 2024.
This meeting marks the beginning of a promising partnership between the cities of Zanzibar and Kingston, Jamaica, with a focus on mutual growth in key sectors such as tourism, education, and the economy.
