Prime Minister Andrew Holness is to leave the island on Wednesday afternoon for a working visit to the United States and other overseas engagements for a period of 10 days.
A release from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) says his working visit will take him to Boston Massachusetts, where he will, among other things, participate in a conference at the invitation of Harvard University.
He will depart the United States and attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey in the United Kingdom on Monday, September 19.
Holness is then expected to participate at the 77th United Nations General Assembly.
“His activities will be communicated using the established and customary channels,” said OPM.
During his absence from the island, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, Dr Horace Chang, will be in charge of the Government.
Holness returns to the island on Saturday, September 24, stated OPM.
