Lisa A. Johnson - Charge d’Affaires US Embassy - Matters affecting Bahamians

RCNS had the pleasure of inviting US Embassy Charge d’Affaires, Ms. Lisa Johnson to inform members of Matters affecting Bahamians. She highlighted the connection that the US and The Bahamas have, projects that the US Embassy contributes to and how we continue to work together to strengthen our communities and make cleaner and better environments. She mentioned that a total of 1, 744 students were studying in the US, which was a 14% increase from the previous year. She also touched on the strict policies and travel advisories implemented and published as a result of the assaults on American females while in our country. She also shared on a recent meeting held with the Minister of National Security, Dr. Bernard Nottage along with other relevant units/entities where they discussed the creation of and execution of coalition strategies to combat drug trafficking into the Bahamas and then to the US.

It was indeed our pleasure to have her!
