External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will pay an official visit to Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad & Tobago from 2-10 May, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Saturday.

These countries share a special connection with India owing to the presence of Girmitiya communities.
During the visit, Jaishankar will meet with the leadership of the three countries and hold discussions with his counterparts covering the entire gamut of bilateral relations as well as regional and global issues of mutual interest.
