She noted that although she had picked Jamaica as her country of choice for posting, it was not a guarantee that she would have been selected, as the tropical country is highly sought after by EU diplomats. Political stability in Jamaica – and the Caribbean – is important for the EU and a fundamental difference between the region and Latin America, which she describes as areas of largely political extremes.
