The PM said rebuilding infrastructure in those countries is among the things Britain can do to rebuild relations because mutual relations run so deep.

On an earlier visit to Jamaica, the PM confirms Britain would build a new Prison worth £25 million for so that, in line with Britain's new policy, Jamaican's in UK prison can be sent home to their country to complete their jail sentences.
