He will visit Belize from March 2 to 3, the Bahamasu00a0 from March 3 to 5 and the Jamaica (including Kingston and Falmouth) March 5 to 8. Afterwards he will fly onto Brazil, visiting Rio de Janeiro and the State of Sao Paolo, between March 9 to 11. St James's Palace said the South American leg of his trip was being carried out 'at the request and in support of' the British Government. Organised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, it is designed to 'enhance' the partnership between the United Kingdom and Brazil, which is regarded as a vital emerging market for British exports. A spokesman for the prince said he also hoped to use the visit to further the interests of the charitable foundation he has set up with his brother, Prince William, which focuses on young people, conservation and the armed forces.
